Event Recaps

On an amazingly tropical evening our in-the-know members gathered at the Frameless Gallery on Clerkenwell Green to meet, chat and network while studying and admiring the remarkable installations brought to London from Vienna by our Cambridge alumni hosts Vanda and...

Well, we said it would be spectacular but nothing could have prepared us for the theatre that unfolded in front of our eyes - probably the most dramatic Boat Race in its 158 years: the neck-and-neck half-way struggle, the nearly decapitated swimmer, the restart, the...

Fourteen members spent a few highly entertaining hours preparing and cooking the Huntingdon Fidget Pie under expert instruction. We then feasted on our creations together over wine at the dining table and much fun was had by all! Organised by Alastair Gourlay and...

We very much enjoyed the keen participation and the entertaining variety of 60-second (or thereabouts) introductions at this event! Organised by Alastair Gourlay and David Peace  

Our Society Dinner in the Edward VII Room at the Oxford and Cambridge Club was a friendly and enjoyable evening with a fascinating and international cast of diners including a shipping magnate, a former diplomat, a television director, a finance expert, a Queen’s...

Our Annual Freshers' Party was a triumph! At our secret location in Marylebone 200 teenagers (mostly) were let in upon payment of the princely sum of £4 and then proceeded to engage joyfully with each other for three hours, refreshing their enthusiasm with the...

We were blessed by a day of pure sunshine amongst countless days of rainfall in London for the Oxford vs. Cambridge Varsity Matches at Lord’s cricket grounds. In the morning some Society members enjoyed a thorough tour of Lord’s, taking in the full history of the...

I hope you'll be pleased (and if you weren't there, perhaps rather envious) to hear that our Singles Evening on the South Bank was a terrific success.  More than 60 members, their guests and a number of Oxford people booked, turned up, caroused, and had a very...

For the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race we had a prime area reserved with views directly across the Thames, right at the start of the race. We were located by the 'Surrey station' (the south side of the river, as Boat Race enthusiasts will know) on the patio of the...

Cambridge Society of London members mingled with accomplished fellow alumni/ae from Oxford and Cambridge of all ages and their friends at the Benugo Bar in Waterloo. Friendly relations were certainly in evidence and the live music created a superb atmosphere....
