Old Hampstead Rediscovered III:
The Taverns of Hampstead The latest of The Heath and Hampstead
Society's stunning exhibitions of old
paintings, prints, and photographs from the
collection of Camden Local Studies and
Archives Centre in Holborn. Many of
Hampstead's pubs have been in existence
for hundreds of years but, as in many
communities, there has been a roll call of
losses in recent times, and so, in addition to
the pubs we now know so well, this
exhibition will chronicle some that have
sadly been lost over time.
Now – 30th June
Paintings by Anna MireckiAnna Mirecki’s work has been inspired from
her avid interest in photography and
extensive travelling.
Thursday 20th June, 10am-12noon
Thursday 20th June, 7 for 7.30pm
Lifelines with Joseph ConnollyJoseph Connolly is the quintessential Hampstead man - born in Fitzjohn's Avenue and lived here all his life. For many years he ran one of the second-hand bookshops in Flask Walk before embarking on a successful writing career. He is best known for his nine novels, among them the hugely popular Summer Things, which was made into a film, and his authoritative biography of P. G. Wodehouse. His most recent novel, England's Lane, to be published in paperback soon, has just been shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize. Jo Connolly is instantly recognisable on the streets of NW3 by his veritable helmet of hair and substantial beard. He is an excellent raconteur, with a million anecdotes up his sleeve, and his presence promises a memorable Lifelines evening. Tickets £12/ £10 Friends of Burgh House.

Support team BH! With considerably less talent than team GB, but by no means less enthusiasm, the Burgh House squad cycled, hiked and camped their way from Constable's birthplace to his resting place to raise much needed funds. But our work isn't done, and our fundraising page will be open throughout the exhibition. Please support Burgh House by clicking on the purple button.
