Capital Crime, a festival of talks by authors of crime and thriller writing has reduced the cost of attending and is now offering tickets for individual talks alongside the all-day tickets they had been selling.

Over a three-day period, some 100 leading voices from crime fiction will be speaking about everything from horror and history in crime to the legacies of Marple, Chandler and Bond. The event runs from Thursday 21st August to Saturday 2nd September, and you can either buy whole-day tickets, or now also for individual events.

The individual events range from £15 to £20 each, and there are so many that it’s probably easier to just visit their website and see what takes your fancy.

The three-day festival takes place at the Leonardo Royal Hotel St Paul’s, which is on Godliman Street just to the south of St. Paul’s Cathedral.

SUPPORT THIS WEBSITE

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.

It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.

Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.

If you like what you read on here, then please support the website here.

Thank you
