Historic photos of London life have been released to the public thanks to a team up between Ancestry UK and Getty Images. The collections is humongous — there are 40,000 images from all over the UK.
The massive image library is searchable on Ancestry's website, and aims to be an resource for both family researchers and photography enthusiasts.
Take a look at a sample of the images, which include everything from sunbathing to a rather busy Downing Street.
