Event Recaps

Despite the tube strikes - or perhaps, in a perverse way, because of them - we ended up with an excellent turnout for our evening with Tom Heap at the RAF Club, with nearly 80 people joining us.  As one of our open events, it was especially pleasing to see so many new...

A Thursday evening in Mayfair and St James’s was the time and location for May’s walk; the topic was the British gentlemen’s wardrobe.  Perhaps ironically, given it was a warm and sunny evening, we started at Mackintosh in Conduit Street, home of the handmade...

Our Pottery Painting Evening on Wednesday proved to be a rather enjoyable experiment.  We had Bonbon Pottery exclusively to ourselves from 6.30pm until 9.00pm.  A large wall of black bisque-fired pieces gave everyone plenty to choose from, and our group rose to the...

We had a really lovely evening at Drake & Morgan on Thursday night with around 30 people from the group.  It had that nice feeling where some people had known each other for years, others were meeting for the first time, but nobody really felt like an outsider. ...

The Society returned once again to the spiritual home of cricket for our annual Lord’s Suite Party, one of the most eagerly anticipated dates in the CamSocLon calendar. This year’s event proved particularly memorable as ongoing redevelopment works at Lord’s meant that...

April’s walk took us in a different direction, going indoors in the heart of Albertopolis in South Kensington (previously know as Brompton but renamed in order to attract visitors to our destination). We were here for a highlights tour of the Victoria and Albert...

Around 40 CamSocLon members and guests joined us for a welcome return to the Coningsby Gallery in Fitzrovia.  The evening centred around Root of the Madder, the debut solo exhibition by British artist Simon Middleton.  Bringing together works on paper and oils on...

The evening proved to be a relaxed and welcoming gathering, with a strong turnout of around 30 attendees.  The informal setting made it easy for conversations to flow, whether among old friends reconnecting or new faces joining for the first time.  The Fable provided...

On Saturday, 4th April 2026, we returned to the Duke’s Head in Putney for our annual Boat Races Lunch and Spectacle, continuing a much-loved Society tradition inaugurated in 2012.  Members and their guests gathered in the Wolsey Room, our private first-floor room in...

The March walk for the Cambridge Society saw members in Soho, Mayfair and St James’s in pursuit of the haunts of myriad rock and pop stars.  From private members’ clubs to recording studios, watering holes to gig venues, the vinyl triangle and the occasional album...

This evening we took our first steps into the world of blind tasting with a single blind flight of five whites and four reds.  Single blind is where you know what the wines are, but not the order of tasting, but since some of our members had not actually read this,...

Our theme was wines to warm you in winter’s chill, so it was entirely predictable that spring suddenly appeared in the capital.  Nonetheless, twelve brave Cambridge Society members supped a series of wines that increased steadily in alcohol from 13.5% to 20% with no...

Notting Hill - famous for riots, carnival, the street market and the film - was the location for the Cambridge Society’s February’s walk.  Those joining the walk soon learned that there was more to Notting Hill than they might have suspected.  From the Kensington...

On the evening of 18th February, 80 Society members and friends celebrated the arrival of Chinese New Year – the Year of the Fire Horse – at festively decorated Peacock London on the south bank of the River Thames, overlooking the iconic Big Ben and the Houses of...

“It was this event that made me join Cam Soc.”  "CamSoc does dinners, walks and wine talks brilliantly, but we could do with more art events."  “I work in tech but art is my passion.”  These were some of the comments from the 35 members who went along to Olympia...
