Talks and Public Speaking

I enjoy sharing my interest in Stoke Newington’s history through talks at both public and private events. Over the years, I’ve been invited to speak by a diverse range of groups, including the London Pubs Group, the Green Lanes N16 Traders & Residents Association, Friends of Hackney Archives, the Hackney Society, Hackney History Festival, the East London History Society, and the London Parks & Gardens Trust Research Group, to name just a few. I have also given multiple talks at regular events such as the Stoke Newington Literary Festival and Nerd Nite London.

Recordings and slides of my talks are available here.

Stoke Newington History Talks

I run a recurring event every four months, Stoke Newington History Talks, where I’m joined by two different speakers each time. I’m glad to say the event has grown in popularity since the first one in November 2016, with tickets usually selling out within a day. To date, there have been 81 talks (including mine) with 50 guest speakers, some of whom have appeared more than once—a remarkable achievement, given the event’s focus on a relatively small area with a very rich history! The event’s mailing list has over 1,600 subscribers, so don’t wait too long to book a ticket.
