Book Group

The London Archives’ Book Group meets monthly to discuss literature, both fiction and non-fiction alike with a London theme. The group gains further insights through discussion about the book which is complemented by the use of historical documents from our collections.

The history and the people of London have always inspired writers, and the capital features in thousands of novels, history books, biographies and more. The books we enjoy can focus on any period in London’s history.

Prior to the meeting, our London Archives’ team investigate the archives to discover original documents that relate to the book or the author. We meet virtually using 'Zoom' and details of how to join are sent out once you book your free place. 

Everyone is welcome to join The London Archives' Book Group, but please be aware that if you haven't read the book, there may well be spoilers!
