Amazing human stories from London’s past - animated!

Legendary Londoners is a brand-new collection from the acclaimed 1000 Londoners project, offering a fresh take on London history through short, animated films. While the original 1000 Londoners films capture the lives of living Londoners in three-minute snapshots, this exciting new series dives into the past—uncovering the fascinating, often forgotten stories of historical Londoners who shaped the city in diverse and unexpected ways.

Each film in Legendary Londoners is like a miniature, moving exhibit—an online museum celebrating the extraordinary individuals who helped make London the global city it is today. From hidden heroes and pioneering women to trailblazing migrants and cultural icons, these stories showcase the richness and diversity of the capital’s history. This is more than just a film series—it's a celebration of Londoners in all their forms. And we want you to be part of it. Do you know a captivating character from London’s past whose story deserves to be told? We're inviting suggestions from the public to help uncover more hidden gems of London history.
