Spoken Word London is an open-mic poetry and performance night for anyone to come and join in, whether to speak or listen. Everyone who wants to speak gets five minutes, but no one gets more than five minutes. Speak in whichever format you want, sharing your own or others' work. 

Doors open 7.30pm, sign up for a slot 7.30-8pm, readings begin at 8pm. 

Free entry, but please buy a drink (or more) at the bar.
