This is a free exhibition about the history of law and order in London, from the medieval period to modern times. Hosted at The London Archives, it uses historical records to explore how the growing city was governed and Londoners' enduring fascination with true crime. Visitors can review cases involving figures such as Moll Cutpurse, Dick Turpin, Jack Sheppard, Oscar Wilde and Sylvia Pankhurst, and see how records illuminate lives, homes and streets of London's past. Paid curator-led tours of the exhibition run on selected dates.
