Local History & Heritage Talks

If you are curious about the history of Dulwich, whether that’s social, architectural or political history, these are the talks for you. We have hosted talks on Dulwich Communists (who knew there were so many?), the history of individual streets and who lived in them, wartime Dulwich, and Dulwich’s mid-century modern architecture. An important feature of our events is to involve the audience; every talk provides an opportunity for questions and what questions they are! Both our speakers and our enthusiastic and lively audiences are highly knowledgeable and keen to discuss local history matters. Attendees often give us ideas for future talks too.

Local history talks are at 8pm on the first Tuesday of each month, with a short summer break. They are held online but in June the talk will be in person. Listen to some of our past talks here:
