The Blitz devastated the fabric of the city, families were torn apart and everyday life was turned upside down. Explore how Londoners responded to challenges including evacuation and rationing. Maps, letters and photographs show vividly what children’s lives were like in World War II.

Learn how close bombs dropped to your school and the devastation caused. Investigate the evacuation of children within London in this lively and interactive session. During World War II, film, photographs and posters were used to influence people’s behaviour and beliefs. Find out how this was achieved, what techniques were used by investigating some of the original material found in the LMA collections.
