Meals at The School of Life

Forget what your parents told you about not talking to strangers. We regularly host meals in which strangers (just as initially hesitant, shy, and yet curious as you are) come together in unique spaces in London to explore experiences, ideas, regrets and aspirations with the help of some of the big thinkers of the past.

We think that knowing how to have entertaining and meaningful conversations is a skill worth practising, so we provide diners with a specially-designed conversation menu inspired by the ideas of history's movers and shakers that ensures you don't end up talking about the congestion charge or nervously reaching for the diminishing bread basket.

Come alone or with a friend, and expect the sort of stimulating and heart-warming conversations we have all dreamt of having, but so rarely do.

Both Conversation Dinners and Breakfasts can be arranged exclusively for groups and organisations. Please e-mail caroline@theschooloflife.com to discuss costs.
