It started as an idea in the pub one night but now after FIVE YEARS, the Salon has become one the most well-loved of all London events. We originally planned to hold just 4 but, due to popular demand, we have just kept going and going.
For our Fiftieth, we have planned a very special evening with a selection of Salon alumni for our friends:
MARVEL as the time travelling Dr. Matt Green takes us on a whirlwind our through the history of the city from the prehistoric to the present - in 20 minutes!
GASP at 5 minute stories of ten stellar Londoners with speakers Ross Macfarlane, Essie Fox, Amber Butchart, Matt Brown, Adam Cumiskey, Celine Hispiche, Travis Elborough, Caroline Rance, Anthony Clayton and a Mystery Guest.
SING-ALONG to music hall favourites with Kate Garner and + a secret musical guest.
