London Evening News Newspaper Archive

The London Evening News saw its first publication in 1855, but almost became bankrupt before the 20th century even began. It became a more widely read newspaper when it was transformed in 1894, and circulation grew to 160,000 copies in the next year. Before it was merged with the London Evening Standard in 1980, the publication was the biggest selling London evening paper for years.

The London Evening News

Our London Evening News archive is a very interesting collection that lets you explore original issues preceding the 1980s. Our archive of London Evening News back issues will let you travel further into the past and read about events in the newspaper from a particular day. An original copy of this newspaper would make an ideal gift, since your recipient could see the popular headlines on the day they were born, or events that were happening on their wedding day. Even more, the newspapers can be personalised especially for your recipient, by adding a name and personal message, making this gift even more special.

insights from our archivist

These aren’t replicas. They’re the actual newspapers that sat on newsstands up to 125 years ago. The one you buy could be the last copy in existence.

Prices can vary for several reasons, like popularity of a specific day, whether the paper is local or national, the paper’s age, and the number of copies left.

Missing papers give us a window into history. If a paper isn’t available for the date you’re after, it could be because that newspaper was on strike during the period.

FLYING OFF THE NEWSSTANDS

Bestsellers leave public ‘clamouring for copies’, reports suggest.
