Open House London 2011
We will be taking part in Open House London on the weekend of 17 and 18 September. Our building originated as a printers’ institute and is in the Anglo-Dutch style, in red brick with sandstone dressings, steeply pitched tiled roof and Dutch gables. Once home to a swimming pool, some of the original features can still be seen. The pool, the presses, the debates, the parties — for over a century this unique venue has been home to a slice of Fleet Street life.
Times: Sat 10am–1pm, Sun 1pm–5pm. Tours last half and hour and must be booked through the Open House web site (bookings open on 8 September)

Dean Evans, an authority on Passmore Edwards, will talk on the life and work of this remarkable man.
The talk is on Monday 10 October 2011 at 7pm in the Passmore Edwards Room. More information
