London Lecture Series
The Institute's Royal status was granted in 1947, it is said in recognition of the fact that its public lectures carried on through the wartime blitz. The lectures are still underway, almost every Friday evening during term. This year's series is now finished.
The topic for the next academic year is The Arts. The series will begin in October 2010.
All lectures are free and open to the public.
