Introduction to branch

At WEA Mill Hill Branch our excellent new venue - The Eversfield Centre - is well placed for public transport, being on several bus routes connected with tube and overground lines. History of the English Language is one of our new courses whilst Thomas Crowe returns, after several years, to tutor Theatre Appreciation/Drama. An exciting innovative course will see Mike Howgate looking at London's Lost Rivers Don't miss details of our two Saturday Schools on eminent architects.

The Branch has excellent quiz suppers and hosts a Summer Garden Party to which Regional staff, the local MP and local councillors are invited.
The WEA is committed to promoting equality and diversity. All are Welcome.
