Welcome to London Revision, we specialise in producing high quality resources for teachers. All of our publications are sold copyright free for educational purposes only within the purchasing academic institution.

London Revision was set up in 1998 to publish materials produced by experienced examiners. Since then it has expanded to produce GCSE Revision Notes for all GCSE History specifications. We have now produced AS and A2 Revision Notes for many AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC Units and Options. We have also developed a range of materials for Citizenship.

There is one major change to pour website; the SHP page has been removed and the materials are now listed on the pages for AQA, Edexcel and OCR. The cyhange has taken place because we now have a range of SHP materials designed for each individual specification. On the AQA and OCR pages, SHP (Spec A) is listed first; on the Edexcel pages, SHP (Spec B) is listed second.

The former SHP page now lists our materials for WJEC. We have produced these materials as a result of the growing number of English switching to WJEC.
