Vanished landmarks and landscapes recalled at the city’s archives

Demolished landmarks and vanished landscapes are remembered in an exhibition at London Metropolitan Archives. Alongside photos of well-known structures such as the Euston Arch, the Festival of Britain ‘Skylon’ and the old Wembley Stadium are drawings, engravings, photographs, maps, films, and contemporary recollections depicting the shifting shape of the capital since the 1500s, and its lost pleasure gardens, farms, almshouses, trams and cabmen’s shelters.
