London Business School Public Speaking Club

The London Business School Public Speaking Club (Club #00004824) is a chartered Toastmasters International club based at London Business School, Regent's Park. Founded in June 2001, it is open to all interested parties — not just LBS students or staff. Members include students, alumni, LBS staff, and non-LBS professionals from across London. The club provides a structured, supportive environment to develop public speaking, communication, and leadership skills through prepared speeches, impromptu Table Topics, and peer evaluations. Guests are always welcome to attend for free.
