Kent House Series is a themed portfolio of contemporary author talks presented each season with acclaimed authors and inspiring interviewers.

 

Set in the atmospheric surroundings of historic Kent House, in the heart of London’s Knightsbridge - a building with a rich royal history - our literary sessions will appeal to book lovers of all ages.
 
Originally built in 1790 by Queen Victoria’s father, Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, the building was subsequently bought by the industrialist Sir Saxton Noble, who occupied

it until 1940 with his wife, granddaughter of Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

The drawing rooms have been the setting for countless performances and soirées over many decades by leading performers and authors of their day, including the

famous Ballets Russes.
