Society Speakers
We invite a speaker, many of whom are Society members, to every meeting to give an informal talk and slide presentation. Over the years we have covered a wide variety of topics on or relating to the North London Railway, which both influenced, and was influenced by, factors and organisations well beyond its 14 mile original line.
