Walworth Library Heritage and Book Group

Connecting local history and heritage with great monthly reads

📚 Southwark Monthly - last Monday Beginner-friendly Social Non-fiction Classics

How does local history connect with literature? Discover it at our Walworth Library Heritage and Book Group, where we meet monthly at the Southwark Heritage Centre to explore books that tie into local and global heritage.

Our sessions are a beautiful blend of book club and history chat, often looking at how stories reflect the lived experiences, architecture, and cultures of our past. It is an incredibly friendly, warm, and open space where everyone is encouraged to share their family stories and thoughts on the text. Come along to discover local history and make some wonderful local friends!

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Liam Carver · 17 June 2026 Burnout took me apart. A beginner running club is how I put myself back together. I pushed myself until I broke, then sat at home ashamed and flat. Learning to run slowly, with no one keeping score, taught me that showing up gently beats winning. 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.
