Hi all, was just wondering if anyone is going to the KEW and if they wouldn't mind giving me a quote for copies of a few records? 113 L.A.A.

Yes, you have to book in advance and are now very limited in how many documents you can request per visit. Your best bet might be to message Drew5223 and see if he has photographed them in a previous visit.

From Tuesday 25 August we will be opening up our map and large document reading room, as well as increasing the number of seats available in our document reading room. Visitors will be able to order more documents each day and we will have some 2-day appointments available for bulk doc orders. All visitors must still book their visit and order their documents in advance – bookings for 25-28 Aug will be available from next Monday at 10am. We’re also pleased to announce that we have restarted our naturalisation certificates (HO 334) service, although other record copying and paid search services remain suspended for the time being..."
