SUMMARY:Historic Homes of Hampstead Village Guided Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Since its development from a village to an 18th Century spa town and then a Victorian suburb\, Hampstead has retained its unspoilt Georgian charm with many listed townhouses and terraces. \nIn the 19th and 20th Centuries this made it very popular with artists\, intellectuals and creatives of all kinds and there are many stories of influential figures who are former residents who left their mark on the area. \nThis includes several generations of architects\, such as Norman Shaw\, Ewan Christian and Erno Goldfinger\, many of whom built their own homes there\, adding to its architectural variety. Furthermore\, in the 20th Century the area gained a reputation as the location of several modernist architects’ experimental housing projects for wealthy clients\, including Hopkins House and Maxwell Fry’s Sun House. \nJoin our knowledgeable guide on this walking tour to learn more about the people and buildings that have shaped Hampstead\, where you will be introduced to a selection of the area’s finest architects’ homes\, historic houses\, and modernist masterpieces.

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Stephanie Phillips (Big Joanie): In Conversation & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:We Were Here: A History of Black People and Alternative Music\n\n\n\nStephanie Phillips joins The Long Play Sessions and discusses We Were Here as she rewrites the story of rock ’n’ roll and alternative music\, placing Black artists at the heart of a history they’ve always helped shape. \n\nFrom pioneering figures such as Sister Rosetta Tharpe\, Little Richard\, Jimi Hendrix\, Tina Turner\, Betty Davis\, Poly Styrene and Bad Brains to today’s trailblazing musicians\, Stephanie Phillips reveals the profound influence of Black creativity on alternative music across nearly a century.\n\n\n\nExploring why Black artists have continued to embrace alternative music despite being marginalised by the mainstream industry\, Phillips makes a compelling case that there is no alternative music without Black innovation. Looking ahead\, she celebrates a new generation of Gen Z musicians redefining the possibilities of punk\, metal\, hardcore and indie\, and shaping the future of the genre.

SUMMARY:Time Clocks Book Launch with Yoav Avni
DESCRIPTION:A book launch and conversation with Israeli author Yoav Avni\, celebrating the English-language publication of Time Clocks by Roundfire Books. \nAvni will discuss the novel\, its journey from Hebrew into English\, and the ideas behind its blend of time travel\, artificial intelligence\, humor and questions about how we experience the present. \nThe evening will include conversation\, a reading from the book\, audience Q&A and signing. \nWhen Boaz is summoned to a furious dismissal meeting at the company where he has spent years developing FocalAI\, better known as the nation’s AI\, everything in his familiar\, comfortable office feels like a personal possession — even the door\, the window\, the air\, the time that had passed. \nBy nightfall\, he is cast out into the desolate industrial zone outside his office\, stripped of his phone\, his car\, and perhaps soon his relationship. The future looms\, threatening and uncertain. \nThen\, three strangers appear\, raising questions not about the future but about the past: a police officer who lost her memory in the ’80s (and maybe it is just as well); a flamboyant French dandy from the nineteenth century; and a wounded shepherd from biblical times\, clad in armor and tassels. \nAs his own life unravels\, Boaz feels compelled to discover why these three have arrived at his side. Why…

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions | Kevin Dettmar: In Conversation & Book Signing with Jon King (Gang Of Four)
DESCRIPTION:Punk In Fifty Pieces with Kevin Dettmar and special guest Jon King (Gang of Four)\n\n\n\nFifty years after punk exploded into public consciousness\, Punk in 50 Pieces revisits the songs\, artists and moments that transformed popular music forever.\n\n\n\nKevin Dettmar joins The Long Play Sessions and in his engaging new book\, explores 50 defining tracks that chart punk’s emergence and its evolution into post-punk and new wave.

Combining insightful criticism with an expertly curated soundtrack\, it stands alongside classic works such as Please Kill Me\, Lipstick Traces\, Rip It Up and Start Again and England’s Dreaming as an essential exploration of one of music’s most influential movements.\n\n\n\nKevin Dettmar is the author of Is Rock Dead? and the acclaimed 33⅓ volume on Gang of Four’s Entertainment!. He is also co-editor of Shake It Up: Great American Writing on Rock and Pop from Elvis to Jay-Z and editor of The Cambridge Companion to Bob Dylan.

SUMMARY:Yoav Avni and Jack Davies on Fiction\, Time\, Secrets\, and Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special event with authors Yoav Avni and Jack Davies to celebrate the publication of their new novels\, Time Clocks and Jove \nTogether\, they will look at how fiction uses realism\, mystery\, suspense\, time travel\, espionage\, memory\, and humor to move between the strange and the intimate. Their conversation will ask what happens when stories cross borders of time\, place\, culture\, and form – and when the past keeps pressing against the present. At heart\, both novels are about people trying to make sense of a bewildering world. \nCome for the stories. Stay for the conversation. Leave with the sense that even the strangest plots are\, in the end\, about us. \nAbout Yoav Avni\nIsraeli author\, editor\, and translator\, winner of the Geffen Award and author of nine acclaimed novels published in Israel. His latest novel\, Time Clocks\, forthcoming in English from Roundfire Books in September 2026\, blends time travel\, mystery\, AI\, humour\, and magical realism in a story about three strangers from different eras who appear beside a man whose own life has just fallen apart.\nAbout Jack Davies\nLondon-based writer of short fiction\, poetry\, novels\, and screenplays\, and an award-winning film director. His novel Jove\, published by Roundfire Books in June 2026\, is a tense spy thriller in which a retired secret service agent becomes a detective after his daughter’s death\, uncovering secrets that stretch from personal grief to Britain’s colonial past and the hidden machinery of espionage.
