A punning headline that doesn?t quite work is our stock in trade. Such is the case here, where we want to highlight a band of enthusiasts who seek out tales of London?s mysterious and arcane.

The South East London Folklore Society meets every second Thursday of the month at The Old King?s Head - down one of those pokey little alleys off Borough High Street.

Next Thursday (13 September) Rob Stephenson will talk about the ?Stones & Bones of London?. Rob, we?re told, knows ?LOADS? about London and should make a fascinating speaker.

Coming up in future months:
11 October: Patsy Langley on ghosts of South London
8 November: Antony Clayton on the folklore of London pubs

Talks start at 8pm and entry is £2.50. All welcome.
