"VRW Guide to Budget Travel to Britain"Free Lectures in London, 2007
A selection of public lectures and meetings given and held in central London. Those interested can just turn up, except when the host asks for pre-booking. Some interesting study days are here, too, as well as some full-scale academic conferences, although neither are free. The host for each event holds copyright in that event's title. These meetings usually take 90 minutes, but may take up to 120 minutes. Lunchtime lectures are shorter: 50 minutes at University College London and the National Portrait Gallery, and often an hour elsewhere. At the end of this document will be found some advice about where to find an inexpensive lunch in Bloomsbury.
Prepared by Ben Haines for the Victoria Research Web
Webmaster note: This lecture list is the last one prepared by Ben Haines, who died in March of 2007. As his "publisher," I was privileged to come to know him over the years that this popular feature has appeared here, and I will miss his kindliness, his energetic generosity, and his unfailing courtesy. Never has there been a traveler who took such joy in helping others to savor their own travels. Godspeed, Ben, and thanks.
