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.

Thursday, 17 May 2007, 20:30 - 22:00
UCS has been in the borough of Camden since its inception in Gower Street (as part of UCL) in 1830. In 1907, having outgrown its premises, it moved to two greenfield sites in Hampstead - for the Junior school in Holly Hill and the Senior school in Frognal. The talk will be given by Nigel Watson, who has been commissioned to write what will be the third history of the school (the other two being in 1930 and 1980) and who will travel down from his home in Yorkshire to give the talk at the school. Present pupils and their relatives will also be present, as will the current headmaster, Mr Kenneth Durham. The school is about 10 minutes? walk from Hampstead Tube station.
Location: University College School, Frognal (approach via Arkwright Road either from Heath Street or from Finchley Road), London
Contact: Dr Peter Woodford
Cost: £1 to non-members
