A Tour of Big Ben
Big Ben is one of the most iconic buildings in the world – it identifies the UK and democracy in the Western world. But there is a lot more to this tower than the beautiful external gothic architecture

Last year the Greater London Area organised an enjoyable and successful day for recruitment to the Arts Society at the excellent venue of Bridewell Hall near Blackfriars

Building on that event we are planning an equivalent day on Saturday 21st September 2019. Speakers booked include Nigel Bates, Jonathan Foyle and Malcolm Jones. The day is for members and non-members and we encourage Society members to bring along friends and relations who are not already members to give them a ‘taste’ of what The Arts Society offers.

STOP PRESS!!!!! We now know the subject of Malcolm Jones interview. It will be the well known film,TV and Stage actor Kenneth CranhamClick here for the BIO
