LA is the largest local authority record office in the UK serving around 30,000 visitors a year.

LA is recognised by The National Archives (UK) as an approved place of deposit for public records under the Public Records Act 1958 and 1967 & is appointed as a Diocesan record office under the Parochial Registers and Records Measures 1929, 1978 and 1992. LA has been recognised as an Accredited Archive Service. Archive Service Accreditation defines good practice and agreed standards for archive services across the UK including standards regarding security. LA is committed to protecting the records of London’s history and safeguarding their future by ensuring that they are stored safely and securely, and that the public access them in a safe and secure environment.
