London's societies, institutes and universities, and the doors they open to everyone else: lecture theatres, libraries, collections and free exhibitions at institutions that have been arguing about the world since the seventeenth century. Most of it costs nothing. Events are also listed under What's On.
Talks and exhibitions this week are in What's On
Seventy public lectures a term from economists, historians and politicians, free and open to anyone who registers.

The school puts its public events programme on the same footing as its teaching: roughly seventy lectures and discussions a term, free, open to anyone, and booked out by people with no connection to the place. The subjects are what LSE is for - economics, government, inequality, climate, the shape of the world order - and the speakers are the ones writing about them, from central bank presidents to the authors whose books came out that month. Most are recorded afterwards, which is worth knowing but is not the same as being in the room when somebody asks the awkward question.
Two other things run alongside. The Library Gallery mounts free exhibitions from LSE's own archives, which hold the papers of the Fabians, the Women's Library and a great deal of the documentary history of the British left. And the Shaw Library, a panelled room on the sixth floor of the Old Building, has free lunchtime recitals through term.
The campus is a dense block of streets off the Aldwych rather than a quadrangle, and the venue for a given talk is often only given to ticketholders, so the booking email is the thing to keep.
