Gallery: A look back at London's pubs
News Story
We're thrilled to be home to archives that document the history of London, and we're continuing to celebrate this history through our online courses about the East End and Victorian London.
These last few months, London has looked a little different, and we got to explore a quieter city. We discovered a new love for our capital, inspiring us to delve into the extensive collections of London photography we hold.
You may spot some familiar buildings in these images of 1960s London pubs we came across in the collections... Are there any you recognise? Let us know your guesses on Twitter, where we'll also be sharing more suggestions and answers.
