The London Topographical Society, Ann Saunders Prize 2025 - CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

 

The London Topographical Society funds a prize in honour of the late Dr Ann Saunders (1930–2019). Ann was an enthusiastic and distinguished historian of London and for thirty-five years the Society’s Honorary Editor. In that capacity she helped many scholars to achieve publication of their work.

A prize of £1,000 is offered annually for an original and unpublished research essay on the topography, development or buildings of London in any period.

The prize was awarded in 2023 to David Cotton for his essay The Lost Highway of Holloway and in 2024 to Martin Rose for The Close on Tower Wharf, both of which will be published in the 2025 volume of the London Topographical Record

Submissions for the prize should be made by 1 April 2025. They must be no more than 8,000 words (including endnotes) and should include an additional abstract or summary of about 200 words.

They will be considered for publication by the Society in the London Topographical Record, at the discretion of the Society’s Honorary Editor.

See the Society’s website for further details of how and where to submit – https://londontopsoc.org/about-us/ann-saunders-essay-prize/.

The prize winner will be notified in time to attend the Annual General Meeting of the Society to be held in London in the summer of 2025.
