Fellowship House’s Weekly Talks have been a Suburb institution for the last 16 years. They are organised by Suburb resident Sally Botterill. There have been hundreds of talks on a wide range of subjects by a myriad of speakers from north London and beyond.

Andrew Botterill, Sally’s husband, is at his laptop next to me in the top picture. He played Sixties tracks mentioned in my novel, and projected photos from my neighbourhood that inspired some of the novel’s passages (the photos are in the Imagery section of this website).
