This page presents a curated selection of documents from Nicky Gavron’s extensive LPAC archive – a unique collection that brings to life the strategic thinking and policy debates that helped shape London in the late 20th century. From early proposals to detailed reports and personal notes, these materials offer insight into the challenges, innovations and ambitions that defined LPAC’s work.
While the full archive – to be housed at the London Archive – contains over 5,000 items, here you’ll find a sample chosen below to reflect the breadth and depth of LPAC’s influence. Each of these documents is a milestone in the LPAC story and will be referenced in the text elsewhere on this site.
The list below details all the materials from Nicky’s archive currently held at the London Archive. While not all documents are available to view online, they can be accessed in person by appointment. This catalogue is intended to support researchers, students, and anyone interested in the policy history and urban development of modern London.

This website is dedicated to the memory of Nicky Gavron, whose passion for London’s future was matched only by her determination to preserve its past. In her final years, she worked tirelessly to uncover and share the untold story of LPAC—its influence, its legacy, and its role in shaping the London we know today.
