SoG London Getaway

Be one of the first to get the details of the 2025 Society of Genealogists London Getaway. Taking place Monday 8th- Friday 12th September. 

Join us at the Society of Genealogists for a Family History Getaway Week. The Society is hosting this five-day programme in its Resource Hub in London. Attend talks and workshops to find out how London Victorian families lived and how London’s social issues and local history affected their lives. Then, as part of the programme, explore the books, documents and records in our Library, plus optional extra workshops, walks and visits. Twelve workshops and talks, help using our Library and a sandwich lunch included in the cost.

Spread over the five days, we aim to help you to develop your understanding of how your London ancestors lived and how their lives were affected by the social and local history of London. Everyone researching their family history in London and building a family tree is very welcome.

Do you have the basic details for your London ancestors but wonder why they made certain choices and how they lived? This five-day Getaway programme is ideal for you.

A week-long intensive course with Else Churchill and other speakers to be announced.
