From Metropolis to Rural Idyll

The London and South region was founded in 1980 and its area covers London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hampshire, Kent, South Oxfordshire, Surrey and the Isle of Wight.

We are the largest Region, with the most members in the UK. We meet on a monthly basis in central London where there are good transport links to most parts of our Region. Please do check for planned engineering works on your route and let us know at the earliest opportunity if you are unable to make it; we are often oversubscribed and have a waiting list.

Practical Workshops are £20 for members and £25 for non-members (plus materials fee where required)
Visits, Demonstrations & Talks are £15 members and £20 for non-members
Christmas Meeting (includes Suppliers Fair plus a Buffet Lunch) is £10

Please scroll down for news and announcements on our Noticeboard or check our Instagram page @societyofbookbinders. We are also on Twitter @SoBLandS.

All listed events are currently SOLD OUT, but do contact us if you are interested in a particular event, as we operate a waiting list and can accommodate Observers at some events. We also repeat our more popular events wherever possible.

If you are interested in joining us, have skills you can contribute, come along to a meeting before you decide and observe us in action! We have a few vacancies coming up for key roles within the Committee so get in touch!
