LlG Society Event – Lloyd George at the Fleet Street Festival of Words
Tuesday 12th May 2026, 5pm to 6pm at Temple Church, London, EC4Y 7BB
David Lloyd George knew Fleet Street well throughout his adult life. He took his exams at the Law Society building, at the Fleet Street end of Chancery Lane, and as a politician would cultivate the support of the editors and proprietors whose newspapers dominated its landscape. Lloyd George knew Fleet Street and Fleet Street knew Lloyd George.
On Tuesday 12th May, Lloyd George will return to Fleet Street for the second Fleet Street Quarter Festival of Words, where we’ll be discussing his unique qualities as a leader and statesman, and whether it does indeed take a dynamic force to succeed in a dangerous world.
This session will be led by Damian Collins, author of Rivals in the Storm, how Lloyd George seized power, won the war and lost his government and Richard Rhys O’Brien, author of The Campaigns of Margaret Lloyd George.
The event is sponsored by the Lloyd George Society.
