This event has passed

We have reached capacity for the tour - wait list only, however we can still take bookings for the lunch.  The Francis Crick Institute is a biomedical research centre in London, which was established in 2010 and opened in 2016. The institute is a partnership between Cancer Research UK, Imperial College London, King's College London, the Medical Research Council, University College London and the Wellcome Trust.  This visit is an opportunity to explore what goes on behind the scenes and learn about the Institute’s research.
 
Angela Waddingham has again volunteered to give short guided tour of this area of London as we make our way to our lunch which will take about 30-40 minutes.  Those who don’t wish to walk may take a taxi or uber to the lunch venue.

Lunch will be three courses with wine in a semi-private area at the very nice Lighterman pub situated in the heart of the redeveloped area of Kings Cross by the canal.
 
Members who wish to attend the lunch only are welcome to apply to so do however, those who book for the tour will be given priority.
