Oral historian & radio broadcaster Alan Dein hosts a new monthly book club which will explore how the communities and the histories of the East End have been depicted in novels and non-fiction.
From old favourites to recent discoveries, Alan will take you on an extraordinary journey from the tailoring workshops of Brick Lane to the Victorian streets plagued by Jack the Ripper!
All titles discussed will be selected from the ‘East London Classics’ section in the shop, and will be available in advance. The Reading East London Bundle is also available; get all four books together at the same time for a discounted price.

All sessions will begin at 7pm at Brick Lane Bookshop.
Each session is £10 plus the option to buy tickets for all sessions together for £36.
