Made a brief visit to @thelondonarchives.bsky.social today & delighted to encounter a secondary #school visit to the #archives + another school group on the tube alighting at Leicester Square. So great to see animated & excited kids on school outings.

Thanks to @whoamiftr.bsky.social for organising!
