The Institute's Royal status was granted in 1947, it is said in recognition of the fact that its public lectures carried on through the wartime blitz. The lectures are still underway, almost every Friday evening during term. This year’s series is on the Environment.
NB: Changing Venues: We are bouncing around a little this year, with most of our lectures held in the Archaeology Lecture Theatre and a few in the J Z Young Lecture Theatre. The locations are indicated on the list below, and here are some maps.
Map: Institute of Archaeology Lecture Theatre, 31-34 Gordon Square, London, WC1
Map: J Z Young Lecture Theatre, Anatomy Building, Gower Street, London WC1
Time: All lectures start at 5.45 pm. The talks usually last for an hour and are followed by about 45 minutes of questions and, hopefully, answers.
All lectures are free and open to the public. No tickets are available, and no reservations are taken, so you are advised to arrive early to be sure of a seat.
