Teachers' Resources
London’s vibrant and turbulent experiences of the Twentieth Century mirrored those of Britain as a whole.
These teaching resources have been created using a selection of images from London Museums and Archives and bring to life the experiences of Londoners during the Second World War and illustrate how Britain changed during the post-war decades. Each section contains lesson ideas, an online learning trail and pupil activities linked to the National Curriculum and QCA Schemes of Work.
