Dulwich Library Biography Group

A monthly afternoon circle exploring remarkable human lives

📚 Southwark Monthly - second Wednesday Beginner-friendly Social Non-fiction

Are you fascinated by history, extraordinary lives, and the real-world stories behind famous figures? The Dulwich Library Biography Group meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 2pm.

Our focus is entirely on non-fiction, biographies, and historical memoirs. We enjoy friendly, deep-dive discussions where we explore the decisions, challenges, and cultural impacts of remarkable historical figures. It is a wonderfully warm, intellectual, and supportive environment that is perfect for retirees, local historians, and curious minds. Drop us an email to find our temporary meetup location during our refurbishment!

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Bridget Lawson · 18 June 2026 I look after my mum full time. A Saturday walk is the one hour that's mine. Caring for someone you love can quietly erase you. This is about the morning I started walking with a group of strangers, and how one hour a week gave me back to myself. Arjun Mehta · 13 June 2026 I optimised my whole life in London. Except the part that actually mattered. I moved here for a brilliant engineering job and built a life so efficient I barely had to speak to anyone. It worked perfectly, right up until it didn't. A running club fixed what I couldn't. Erin Walsh · 16 June 2026 Socialising never made sense to me. At a board game night, the rules were finally written down. As an autistic adult, the unspoken rules of socialising always left me lost and exhausted. A board game night was the first place the rules were actually explicit - and I could finally relax.
