LONDON & SOUTH REGION
The London and South East region of the Society of Bookbinders was founded in 1980. The region has a membership of over 300 and its area covers London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hampshire, Kent, South Oxfordshire, Surrey and the Isle of Wight.
Early meetings were held at the London College of Printing, although now we mainly meet at the Congregational Chapel in Kelly Street, London or at Morley College in London.
There are two seasons of masterclasses that run from September to December then again from January to May. In addition to this there are two annual visits to libraries, binderies, museums, tanneries or conservation studios. Non-members are also welcome.
