Robert Elms in Conversation
As the Salon reaches it's 70th Birthday, join us for a celebratory evening of conversation with that most London of Londoners, ROBERT ELMS - plus special guest
‘London is a giant kaleidoscope, which is forever turning. Take your eye off it for more than a moment and you’re lost.’
Earlier this year, Robert published his memoir London Made Us "a lament for a lost London", "A love letter to the capital … part memoir, part cultural history.
The book describes how they city has changed beyond all imagining, how London in his lifetime has morphed from a piratical, still bomb-scarred playground, to a swish cosmopolitan metropolis with motorways driven through lost communities, murder miles becoming estate agents’ dreams, accents changing, towers appearing. Yet still it remains to him the greatest place on earth.
Robert will discuss his life in London and take us on a trip to some of the stranger lost byways of the metropolis.
