Wandsworth Historical Society

The archaeology and history of Wandsworth

Lecture Programme 2012

You are welcome to come along to one of our talks free of charge before deciding whether you want to join the Society.

All our talks are held on the last Friday of the month at the Friends' Meeting House, Wandsworth High Street, SW18.

They begin at 8.00 pm and end at about 9.15 pm, followed by tea and biscuits and a chance to chat to other members.

Please note the change of date for July: to avoid a clash with the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, we have brought our meeting forward by one week to Friday 20 July.

The Meeting House is opposite Wandsworth Town Hall, a short walk down from the Spread Eagle pub.
