Welcome to The Arts Society South West London

We are a registered charity (no 1195700) based in Putney, but our members also come from Barnes, Sheen, Roehampton, Fulham and other surrounding areas. Meetings take place on the second Monday of each month (except April and August) at 8.00 pm when we have a varied programme of illustrated lectures by Arts Society speakers who are all experts in their own specialist fields. Doors normally open at 7:30pm.

Our lecture venue in 2025 is The Community Church, Werter Road, Putney SW15 2LL

We also organise day visits to places of special historic, or architectural, interest and have two study half-days each year for in-depth lectures. Normally one focuses on the year’s Tour, which alternates between destinations in the UK and abroad.

Details of all our activities are can be found on our website. We welcome new members and if you would like more information about joining us, please visit www.theartssocietyswlondon.org.uk
