So this weekend I suggest you visit the recently opened photography exhibition 'Soldiers and Suffragettes' at the Museum of London Docklands.
A celebration of the UK's first female photographer, Christina Broom, the exhibition shows Broom's creative flair and ambition to truly capture the lives of Londoners in the early 20th Century. From prints to original glass plate negatives, you'll see First World soldiers parade through the streets, processions of suffragettes and the general hustle and bustle of London life.
If you can't make it at the weekend or during a week day then head to the late night opening on Thursday 25th June (6pm -10pm). Anyone interested in learning more about the Big Smoke or just our history then a trip on the DLR is well worth it.
