Did you know that this year marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of Shakespeare’s First Folio, considered by many to be one of the most important books in the English language?

And soon, you'll be able to add it to your own bookshelves. 📚

[British Library @britishlibrary]

For centuries, dozens of passages from Camden's Annals have been invisible to the naked eye – until now.

Through the use of new imaging technology, we've been able to uncover hidden text within this 400 year manuscript: the first official account of Queen Elizabeth I's reign.

What a great event to kick off @britishlibrary #foodseason! With one week left to see #ChineseandBritish exhibition, what more can one ask than listen to a ACE list of panellists talking about culture and food! Fun, insightful, and delightful!

Caught the last day of #PeopleMakeTelevision at @Raven__Row. Programmes made by communities challenge issues related to social justice, equality, class and race. The participatory approach empowered marginalised groups to tell their stories in their own voices.
