Reception on Wed 7 July

This reception will follow the opening keynote presentation, and will take place in the Great Hall at King's College London.  

It will be followed by an informal 'Fleet Street and South Bank' walk, led by Harold Short.

Reception on Fri 9 July

This reception will follow the day's conference proceedings, and will take place at the Barbican Centre, so time will be allowed to enable delegates to make the journey - by underground, bus or even walking(!).  The reception will be held in the amazing Conservatory, a tropical garden completely unexpected in the City of London, better known for its stock exchanges and other financial institutions.

The reception will be followed by an informal 'City of London' walk, led by Harold Short.

Reception on Sat 10 July

This reception will take place on the terrace in front of the Great Hall at Lincoln's Inn, and will immediately precede the Conference Dinner.
