Researchers from all around the world visit the LAARC to undertake archaeological research, each with their own particular questions. Researchers range from academics and undergraduate/ postgraduate students to archaeologists, freelance historians and members of the public. The one thing they all have in common is an interest in London's archaeological past.

A diverse range of research is undertaken at the LAARC. Scientists collect analytical samples, archaeologists investigate a range of artefact types and environmental remains, historians incorporate archaeological evidence into their synthesis and artists produce art works.

Studies range from the prehistoric to the modern, the centre of the city to the rural environs, the domestic to the esoteric, the delicate to the utilitarian and so on, encompassing the full range of London’s past lives.
