I need to arrange a visit to kew in the distant future but I feel like a fish out of water.
I keep putting it off as I have not got a clue, on how the system works their. Could sombody please give me some advice, on how to handle the first visit

Thanks V much

Deb

You dont have to book for the 1911 census now

Just go on one of the computers on first floor and you can look at all census plus more.

I am off to Kew tomorrow for the day. Tuesday and thrusdays are the best days to go as it stays open until 7pm.

Good luck

Debbie, you will need 2 forms of ID to obtain a readers card, one should be a passport/photo driving licence and the other a recent utility bill/bank statement. They take your photo there to put on the card.
