Jane Austen visited London frequently, often staying with her brother Henry, enjoying life in London and the opportunity to confer with her publishers.
No 30 Hans Place, the remaining house of the terrace where Henry Austen lived.
The London Branch of the Jane Austen Society meets on several Saturdays at St Columba’s Church Hall, Pont Street, SW1. These meetings feature either speakers or speaker-led discussions, sometimes with visual presentations. Tea and biscuits are included. Afternoon meetings start at 2.30pm, and full-day, three-speaker, meetings start at 10.30am with coffee. Members pay £10 for each of the talks/discussions they attend, non-members pay £12. In addition there is a Birthday Lunch on a Saturday early in December.
No 123 Sloane Street, Chelsea, the last remaining house in Hans Town, similar to No 64 where Henry Austen lived.
Membership of the London Branch is around 100 and is not confined to residents of London districts. New members are always welcome. The annual subscription is £12.50 and runs from 1 January.
