Free Lectures in London

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 links to the various hosting institutions, as well as some advice about where to find a cheap lunch in Bloomsbury.
