London Metropolitan Archives

The London Metropolitan Archives is the principal local government archive repository for the Greater London area, including the City of London: it is the largest county record office in the United Kingdom. It was established under its present name in 1997, having previously been known as the Greater London Record Office. It is administered and financed by the City of London Corporation. It attracts over 30,000 visitors a year and deals with a similar number of written enquiries. With the earliest record dating from 1067, the archive charts the development of the capital into a modern-day major world city.
