Events
Every month there is a talk on some aspect of the history of Camden or of London in general, free to members but open to non-members for a £1 entry fee. These are usually on the third Thursday of every month, but occasionally on another day depending on the availability of venues and speakers. Warning of a change in the usual timing is given in the Newsletter a month or two in advance.
The talks always start at 7:30pm and last 45-50 minutes, with time for question and comment afterwards. Doors open 7pm, at various venues within the Borough. There are 11 such events during the year (none in August), all free to members. For further information click on the title of the talk in the Events Calendar below.

London’s shops – the world’s emporium
Thursday, 17 December 2009, 19:30 - 21:00
Susan Jenkinson, a London Blue Badge guide, has spoken to the Society before, on London’s unknown statues. This talk will be on London’s shops. She writes “Harrods, Bond Street and Covent Garden Market are as well known to most visitors as Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral and The British Museum. I shall take a look at the buildings and history behind a selection of the vast array of special London shops which we hope will not disappear in competition with chain stores and the Internet.”
Location: Burgh House, New End Square, Hampstead
Contact: Peter Woodford
Cost: £1 to non-members
