The King William Street Pedestrian Priority Project and New Building Construction
Impact on Access to Abchurch Lane

A major project has been undertaken starting in the summer of 2024 and continuing through 2025 into 2026 covering King William Street, Lombard Street, Cannon Street and many of the lanes that connect them including Abchurch Lane.

This means that there will be road closures due to roadworks and building work. Access whilst this work is underway will be for pedestrians only, with very limited access to vehicles.

Meeting Handouts

Our archives hold over 700 handouts provided by displayers at meetings since 1918. These range from single sheets of paper listing the items on display to extensive publications including complex images that can be regarded as significant contributions to the literature. Explanatory notes were at first provided only occasionally but have become normal practice since the 1980s. Many contain material of value to researchers and their production quality has steadily improved. These have been scanned and converted to searchable PDF documents.

Council has recently approved an updated Safeguarding Policy for the Society. This policy outlines how we need to safeguard the welfare of everyone associated with the Society, by protecting them from physical, emotional, sexual and negligent harm.

Everyone has a duty to report concerns or suspicions, and a right to do so in confidence and free from harassment. The revised policy can be viewed here.
