“Cityread London is a terrific scheme to promote reading across the capital, by focusing on a single book that features our great city. [...] I hope Londoners, whether avid readers or not, will be inspired to take part in this exciting citywide initiative.”
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London

A historical talk by Hugh Petrie, Barnet’s Heritage Development Officer, on riots and rebellion in Barnet at the Edgware Library. Come for a fact-filled hour that includes the 18th century Gordon Riots, 19th century gang warfare between the Childs Hill Boys and the Kilburn Boys, and perhaps a little strife from the 20th century.

For more information about the talk and other Cityread events in Barnet, please visit the Barnet Libraries’ website.
