Conclusion (all speakers with Judith Herrin and Alexander Lingas)
NB On Saturday 8 November the Lord Mayor¹s Parade will effectively block
Fleet Street and the Strand, so access to the Maughan Library by car
will be
difficult (Chancery Lane is one-way going north). It will be easier to
approach from High Holborn (underground station Chancery Lane) and walk
south.
