Free poetry readings south of the river in October

Join us for two free London Undercurrents events in October.

First up – Tuesday 17th October 7pm – 8pm – Battersea Bookshop Free event

We’re excited to be reading at this excellent new book shop in the heart of the redeveloped Battersea Power Station. Hosted by The Battersea Society, we’ll be joining Jeanne Rathbone as she reads from her wonderful book Inspiring Women of Battersea. Our set will include poems from London Undercurrents about local Battersea women, and their sisters north of the river. There’ll be a chance to speak to all the authors, buy our books and browse through everything the bookshop has to offer. There are some great shops and art galleries in the Power Station, and you can also enjoy food and drink by the river.

Nearest tube is Battersea Power Station on the northern line. The bookshop is a short walk away, downstairs in the power station building.

Free event, but please book via Eventbrite.

Next up, we’ll be at Killick & Co in Battersea on Wednesday 25th October 6.30pm-8pm

As part of their Lessons From Local series of talks and events, we’ll read poems from London Undercurrents curated to represent different stages of women’s lives, both locally in south London and north of the river. It’s free, but please email them to book a space so they get an idea of numbers.

Join us for wine and nibbles! Nearest public transport Clapham Junction train station.
