Step back in time to a Victorian classroom at Guildhall Art Gallery

Part of London History Day, Guildhall Art Gallery invites visitors to sit up straight, mind their manners and enter the world of the Victorian classroom. Inspired by the painting The First London School Board featuring suffragists Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Emily Davies, discover what life was like for Victorian schoolchildren, and the different opportunities available to girls and boys.
