Last week, Library President Helena Bonham Carter hosted our supporters at the 2024 President’s Summer Party.

The annual event, held in our atmospheric Reading Room, celebrates and thanks the vibrant community of people who support The London Library.

Guests embraced the optional dress code of ‘hats!’ and enjoyed a reading of ‘A Mad Tea-Party’ from Alice in Wonderland by Helena, Richard E. Grant, Johnny Flynn, and our Chair of Trustees, Simon Godwin. Flynn and his band Johnny Flynn & The Sheldrakes then took to the floor, with dancing very much encouraged. 

Founders’ Circle patrons are first on the guestlist for the biannual President’s parties, in addition to being invited to a varied programme of exclusive events in and outside the Library.
