In 2007 there were two small events in Bloomsbury, or more accurately Holborn, as it was near this location that Kenneth Williams had lived for most of his life.

Here is a link to the first part of a video record of our afternoon at the Calthorpe Arms. Part One was a walking tour of Windsor, which some of us took the day before this event, but parts 2 to 5 (all under 10 minutes long, as was the YouTube limit back in the day) are of the event itself.
