The Society holds ten meetings each year. Eight of these take place at the Warburg Institute, Woburn Square, London, WC1H 0AB, commencing at 6pm and finishing by 7.30pm. (Click here for a map, on which the Institute is marked in green.) Members should show their signed Membership Card to the porter on arrival at the Warburg Institute to gain entry. No prior notice is needed to attend, and members are welcome to bring guests.

In May and November the Society's meetings are kindly hosted by Spink & Son at 69 Southampton Row. (Click here for a map, on which Spink's premises are marked 'A'; the nearest tube stations are Russell Square and Holborn.)

Each year, usually in July, the Society holds its Summer Meeting. This is a whole day of lectures on a wide range of topics, and normally takes place outside London at a different venue each year.

The Anniversary Meeting of the Society is held in November. The annual election of the President, Officers and Council takes place at this meeting, and the President delivers the Annual Presidential Address, including a review of the Society's activities.
