Cityread London

Cityread London is an annual festival that has taken place each spring, in London, since 2012.  Each year Cityread chooses a different book to focus on, but where ‘London’ plays a part in the story.  Once the novel has been chosen, Londoners, and visitors to London are invited and encouraged to read it.   Using this chosen novel as a starting point, a month-long festival of events happens across London; in its libraries, bookshops, museums and venues. 

Cityread London had its first festival in 2012 to coincide with Dickens’s 200th birthday.
