About the North London Reading Group

The North London Reading Group is a reading group based around the Piccadilly line in North London.

There are currently about ten of us. We are a relatively new group - we've been meeting since June 2007.

How it works

We read and discuss a different book each month. We focus on novels - so no short stories or non-fiction - but anything else goes.

You can see what we are currently reading, and what books we have read in the past, in the books section of this site.

Where we meet

We each take turns to host, whether in our homes, local watering holes or other places of interest. The host has the honour of choosing the next book.

The group was inspired by the Oxford Reading Group, which is run along similar lines and has been going since 2003. A couple of us were members until work commitments pulled us from the dreaming spires towards the big smoke.

Can I join?

Our reading group is full-ish but we occasionally take on new members from a waiting list.

We also have links with a second reading group set up by people who got in touch through this website.
