The News from Nowhere Club provides a lively series of monthly talks on a wide range of subjects. Founded in 1996 it aims to foster fellowship and challenge the commercialisation and isolation of modern life.
Topics for 2012 included real ale, making a living as an artist craftsman, young historians in Leyton, Ruskin’s legacy and Bangladeshis in London. See the 2013 programme below and go to the club’s website for full details of each talk and times and venue:
The club’s patron is Professor Peter Hennessy, who as well as being an academic is a well known journalist and regular on TV, especially commenting on elections and politics.
