Survey of London Annual Event 2025 – Writing the home in a time of housing crisis



Monday 30 June

18:30 - 20:00

Event Type
Talk
Audience
This event is for Everyone

How should we research and write about the many places people call ‘home’ amid an escalating housing crisis with devastating human impacts? How do we move beyond material histories and realities, when home means so much more? And what good might that do in the struggle to provide more and better homes?

Join the authors Dr Samuel Johnson-Schlee (Living Rooms), Dr Edwina Attlee (Strayed Homes: Cultural Histories of the Domestic in Public) and Kieran Yates (All The Houses I’ve Ever Lived In: Finding Home in a System That Fails Us) for a conversation exploring London’s most urgent issue today.

The event also celebrates the work of students on the Architecture & Historic Urban Environments MA at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, with all profits going to the New Horizon Youth Centre, a charity supporting homeless and unsafe young people in the city.
