ALL EVENTS START AT 8PM, EXCEPT FOR THE CHILDREN’S EVENT AT 6.30 PM ON OCTOBER 20TH.

3.10 JENNY ECLAIR “HAVING A LOVELY TIME”
The stand-up comedian’s latest novel is a story of families, relationships, and dealing with the consequences of your actions. Not a fluffy read, it is full of ascerbic humour.

5.10 - ANTHONY ADOLPH “TRACING YOUR FAMILY HISTORY”
Learn top tips on tracing your family tree from an authoritative, enthusiastic author.
The author will be happy to advise you on your queries and issues arising from your own research.

6.10 - TRAVIS ELBOROUGH “ THE BUS WE LOVED” and CHRIS ROBERTS “CROSS RIVER TRAFFIC”
The authors of two new London transport titles talk about the 73, beloved routemaster bus, and the history and lore of Thames bridges.

10.10 - AGGIE MACKENZIE “HOW CLEAN IS YOUR HOUSE?” In association with N16 writers network Come and clear your cobwebs away when Aggie Mackenzie, one of Channel 4’s “Dream Cleaners” answers your washing worries; and lifts the carpet on dirt, dust and life as a TV star.

12.10 - JUSTINE PICARDIE “MY MOTHER’S WEDDING DRESS” and IAN KELLY “BEAU BRUMMELL”
Justine Picardie unravels why we care so much about what we wear through her own memories of favourite clothes, including her mother’s wedding dress, and also her meetings with designers and supermodels. Beau Brummell, 19th century dandy, changed the way we dress. Ian Kelly tells the riveting story of his life and how it still influences our 21st century culture.

13.10 - IAIN SINCLAIR “EDGE OF THE ORISON”
Iain Sinclair recreates the story of the poet John Clare who escaped from High Beech Asylum in 1841, heading on foot to his home in Northborough.

17.10 - MICHAEL ROSEN “CARRYING THE ELEPHANT”, “THIS IS NOT MY NOSE”, “IN THE COLONIE”
Michael Rosen reads from and talks about the poetry trilogy in which he looks at central events in his life, his London childhood, the death of his son, marriage and divorce and in the final book, his upbringing in a secular left-wing Jewish family. This is not a children’s event

19.10 - PETER MOORE “VROOM WITH A VIEW”, “THE WRONG WAY HOME”, “NO SHITTING IN THE TOILET”
Grab your rucksack and join Peter Moore on a journey through his funny and acutely observed travel writing. From London to Sydney, Central America and Africa, his tales of misadventures and the people he meets are always highly entertaining.

20.10 - SALLY GARDNER “I, CORIANDER” Children’s event at 6.30 pm
Sally Gardner’s first novel for older children has been critically acclaimed and all our staff loved it. Coriander is the perfect heroine in this part fairy tale and part historical novel set in London.
