London’s Guildhall Library Celebrates 600 Years with a Year of Events

In 1425, London’s Guildhall Library was founded with funds from the will of Richard Whittington, the famous four-time Lord Mayor of London. Now, 600 years later, this institution—home to one of the world’s most significant collections of books on London history—is marking its anniversary with a year-long programme of talks, walks, and literary exhibitions.
