2009 Update
Sorry that I’ve been lax in updating this website. But London Type is still alive and kicking. Sign up under Join to get email notification of events.
It’s a tough year for everyone this year - we’re definitely seeing the shadow side of many recent business and financial decisions. So rather than trying to arrange meetings and cancelling them, we waiting till after the summer for our first event. Hopefully we will see some recovery by then.
We also felt it would be useful to get back to the real basics and origins of Type theory - and are delighted that Steve Myers is going to join us to give us an interactive day to explore the Fundamentals of Jung’s theories.
So put the date in your diary: Tuesday 22nd September, University Women’s Club, London.
