Insomniac Story Club
About this Event
A regular meetup on Wednesday mornings for reading and discussing stories. London has a centuries' long history of struggling to sleep, walking at night and literature inspired by these phenomena.
In particular, Charles Dickens is known for his night-time walks, sometimes covering 20 miles, which he undertook to combat insomnia and clear his mind for writing, and which gave him a darkly lit perspective on urban life.
