Laurence's Talks

Social and cultural history with a difference. I have unusual historical angles on many scientific, technological or medical subjects, often connected with London. Curious characters.

I have given talks at the Geological Society of London, in the Great Room of the RSA, for the City of London Historical Society, Thames Shipbuilding Symposium, University of North Carolina in London, Salon for the City, Newcomen Society, Westbury Festival, London Appreciation Society, Emanuel School, Local History Societies, Women's Institute, U3A and Probus.

View my menu of talks at Speakernet. Not just for science lovers!

Victorians, Georgians, Engineers, Experimenters, Polymaths, Inventors, Industrial Revolutionaries

Please do not be afraid to ask for a topic in my general sphere of interest even if you do not see it on my menu. I have compiled a huge database of wonderful material on many subjects - all with human interest. I am keen to weave it into new talks. 
I am good at finding the entertaining angles, connections, oddity and humour in unexpected places and I love to share that with an audience.
