Next NED Talk: To be announced.
The Network Evening Drinks (NED Talks) are early evening Zoom meetings, lasting about an hour and a half, with a speaker talking about a topic of general interest for approx. 30 minutes, followed by discussion and a general chat.
The NED Talks are free to attend and non-members can join as your guests if Gill is notified in advance. More information on the content of the Talks will be provided in the invitations that will be sent out nearer the time.
Venue: The Stoke House
Location: The Nova Building, 81 Buckingham Palace Rd, London SW1W 0AJ
Date: Tuesday 29th April 2025
The Stoke House is a very smart, modern British steak house restaurant in Victoria, specialising food cooked over wood. It has a comfortable restaurant and bar and a pleasant terrace for drinks in the pedestrian area outside.
The restaurant is a very short walk from Victoria Station, through the Sir Simon Milton Square, the pedestrian precinct in the Nova development.
This is a new venue for the Research Network and we hope it will be a good choice.
Venue: Doggett's Coat and Badge
Location: Blackfriars Bridge Road, London SE1 9UD
Date: Wednesday 2nd July 2025
Our Summer Party venue is once again the Terrace Bar on the 3rd floor of Doggetts Coat and Badge, at the south end of Blackfriars Bridge. As its name suggests, the Terrace Bar has a large, sunny terrace with stunning views of the river and there is plenty of space in the bar area indoors.
Our Summer Party is an informal event, giving members ample opportunity to mingle with old friends and meet new ones, over a drink or two and a plate of pub food.
