Our Museum Late: Night on the tiles is all about the history of London’s rich nightlife from Victorian music halls and night clubs, to subcultures which have influenced London and the world. The Museum of Youth Culture will also be joining us to talk about their latest collecting project, Grown Up In Britain.

In this blog, our Director talks all things Hidden London, from the new immersive exhibition at the Museum and a brand new illustrated book, to the popular Hidden London tours of disused stations across the transport network.
