One Day in the City: UCL Festival of London and Literature

A star-studded literary line-up graces this one-day festival. AS Byatt, Alan Hollinghurst, Iain Sinclair and Will Self are among those giving talks and readings. There are also panel discussions and performances, many focused on great works that have been inspired by London, by novelists, poets and academics. Events take place on UCL's Bloomsbury Campus (buildings around Gower Street, Torrington Place and Gordon Street) and at venues including the British Library, British Museum, Senate House Library and RIBA.
