Night Shift: London After Dark

Discover how the introduction of gas and electric street lights at the end of the 19th century changed the way London operated at night: giving city dwellers the ability to enjoy after dark entertainment and increasing the number of night workers travelling to and from the city. Displays include archive photographs and films showing the development of transport which was vital in meeting the demands of Fleet Street workers, beautifully designed posters highlighting the rise of the West End and the booming nightclub scene, plus contemporary safety campaigns rolling out across our 24 hour city.
