Our usual Lecture Room at the Warburg Institute is needed for another lecture and we have had to find alternative accommodation for this popular talk. It will now start half an hour later to allow anybody who has missed the online notification and gone to the Warburg Institute as usual to come on to the new venue. We apologise for any inconvenience; the change is beyond our control.

The talk will start at 5.30 in the Woburn Suite, Senate House, Malet Street. The Woburn Suite is on the Ground Floor of the South Block (British Museum end) of Senate House. You can enter Senate House either from Malet Street (west side) or Russell Square (east side), turning right or left respectively once under the arch to enter through the revolving door. Keeping to the right, past the Information Desk, go straight ahead to the back of the concourse, when you turn right, as signposted, through a swing door, to find the two rooms fondly referred to as the Woburn Suite.

Note that the Streetmap extract includes the new venue as well. Follow down from Woburn Square to 'University of London'.

A glass of wine, or fruit juice, will be available free as usual after the talk.

You are most welcome; there is plenty of room.
