David Wilcox replied to Clare Reilly's discussion 'Is the Royal Festival Hall working as a venue? Can Fellows suggest any better (free) venue?'

Hi Kevin - good to find a real human connection between VCH and London! I live just over the road from the Barbican near Barts Hospital, and would come across for a coffee some time, if we don't meet on the 3rd. Anyone else in the City/ Clare - t...

Welcome to the London City Network

Welcome to the London City Network, an online space for Fellows and friends in and around London to meet, greet and share ideas with each other. Fellows often say that the thing they value most about the RSA is the chance to meet other Fellows, develop new relationships and find potential collaborators. This network is a step towards building a community of Fellows in London to support, amplify and encourage all the fantastic work people are doing together and explore new possibilities for future projects. If you have an idea or a burning issue you'd like to share, why not write it up below on the blog and see if you can find some support amongst the Fellowship.

Network development: We discussed future direction at our meeting on August 7. These's an online forum here following on issues raised.

RSA Prime Thinkers mix cookies, wine and business at the British Library

RSA has great potential to make some unusual connections, as I found last week in a mix involving the British Library, Fellows, business mentors - and a cookie-making start-up. Free wine provided the networking juice, and it seemed to me the event could be a good model for future London City Network meetups.
The occasion was a get-together organised by Maurice Collins of Prime Thinkers. They are a group of professional people who meet voluntarily to mentor individuals or organ… Continue
