News & Events

The Heritage of London Trust organises visits, events and lectures on a regular basis. These events range from walking tours around London’s lesser known historic areas, to tours of historic buildings in and round London. In the past we have also hosted educational lectures on the “Secret Heritage of London” offering interesting talks given by top historians and specialists. We also occasionally have fundraising receptions and parties in properties we have helped to support. Some events are specifically arranged for our Society of Friends, but in most cases our events are OPEN to everyone who loves London and is interested in learning more about its unique culture and heritage. Please click on the events list to see what’s coming up and download an application form, or contact the office for further details. Please note that there is sometimes a small fee for some of our events.
