Spotlight Talk: Leaving London

In this short talk, Roy will dive into the spaces, places, and faces of the Foundling Hospital’s move out of London. This talk takes place on the exact centenary of the day in 1926 when the Hospital underwent a huge upheaval and dozens of children were moved from the heart of London to the countryside.

Winning teams will get a little soju on the house, and depending on sign up numbers we may do a small bracket to see who’s the best in the room! See you there!

More about King's Cross

Greater London, England

King's Cross sits right in the heart of Greater London, a place where trains rumble past and life moves at a brisk pace. The Lightroom has been hosting shows for years while the area around it stays busy with street performers and pop-up stalls. It is not hard to find something entertaining if you know where to look. Pub quizzes pop up through the week and the odd open mic night keeps things interesting. Near Here pulls it all into one place so you are not stuck checking a dozen websites on a Sunday evening.
