Question of the week: "London offers a marvellous plethora of public speaking venues. Two of my favourite locations are close to the London Centre. The lower level of the National Portrait Gallery features world class speakers on a regular basis; you can also pause during your walk through the many free galleries of the NPG to have a coffee in the magnificent top floor restaurant/café, which features fabulous views over Trafalgar Square looking out toward Parliament.
The British Library, near King's Cross Station, also offers distinguished speakers on a regular basis. You can visit the free galleries of the BL, including the 'Treasures' exhibition which contain original versions of Magna Carta, the Shakespeare First Folio, and the earliest manuscript edition of Chaucer among its many treasures. The espresso in the library café is also top notch."- Prof Kucich
"I check out the British Library website to keep an eye on who they have speaking. Their events are usually free or cheap, but can be packed so book early." - Catherine
