London meetings are held in the main hall of the Swedenborg Society, 20-21, Bloomsbury Way, London. 6.00 pm for a 6.30 pm lecture.
We are pleased to be able to announce the full programme of London Main Lectures for the coming year. These are held in London at the Swedenborg Society, within a stone’s throw of the British Museum. There is always a good turn-out, which shows that members appreciate them both for their horological content and as social events; drinks and refreshments are provided. You may want to note the dates in your diary.
