What we do
We offer opportunities to read great literature – fiction, poetry, drama, ancient classics, philosophy and more – as part of small, friendly and committed groups led by skilled guides. In 2022 we ran the free LitSalon Challenge and in 2024 launched free ‘LitSalon Shorts’.

More about us
Who we are
Every Salon is led by a skilled facilitator who weaves participants’ ideas with questions the writing raises about
what it is to be human.
How we work
We advocate slow and attentive reading.
Being part of a committed group illuminates and enhances the shared experience.
How it all began
Salon Director Toby Brothers explains
how the seed for the Salon was sown
in Paris before being transplanted to London.
