Covent Garden c. 1952

The photograph to the right is just one in Londoners at Work, an exhibition of photographs at Museum in Docklands from February 2-5 June 2005.

This is the first in a series of temporary exhibitions at one of London’s newest museums.

Eighty fascinating images, many of them on display for the first time, have been drawn from the unrivalled photographic archives of both the Museum in Docklands and the Museum of London. They capture over one hundred years of working life in London.

The photographs show the diversity of London at work - in offices and factories, warehouses and docks, on the river, in the street and at home.

Entrance to the exhibition Londoners at Work is free with a valid Museum entrance ticket, £5 for adults (£3 concessions).
