We meet the first Thursday in every month at 7.30 pm.

The Group's area of geographical interest covers a large percentage of England, both in terms of area and population and most Society members would have at least one research interest in this area..

London, the most important city within this area has expanded over the centuries with Greater London now extending into the surrounding counties of Essex, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Kent.
