Inside Londoners' lives during the Blitz

Mark "Bill" Bailey, who survived the Blitz, takes a sneak peek at a new and free exhibition at the London Archives in Clerkenwell. It details the lives of ordinary Londoners through the bombings.

London in the Second World War uses rarely seen original artworks, photographs, maps and personal diaries to illustrate the devastating impact of the Luftwaffe's bombing campaign.
