Meetings, Programme and Events

The Society holds regular meeting and a number of events throughout the year. It also engages with other local groups at their events and is a participant in the Streatham Festival and the Furzedown Festival. The Society, with its bookstall, is often present at other local events and at public meetings concerned with planning or development issues.

Help at events or with Society activities is always welcome.

Our meetings take place between 8pm and 10pm on the first and third Monday of each month at "Woodlawns", 16 Leigham Court Road, Streatham, London, SW16. This splendid Victorian house is just a short walk away from Streatham Hill railway station.

Visitors are welcome to attend a meeting and there is no admission charge.
