George Seferis Exhibition Tours London

Date: Monday, 16 November 2026 and Wednesday, 25 November 2026
Venue: Hellenic Residence, Mayfair, London

The Embassy of Greece in London opens its permanent exhibition George Seferis: The Man, the Poet, the Diplomat for free guided tours in November.

The exhibition sits in the historic study at the Hellenic Residence where the Nobel laureate lived and worked while he was Greek Ambassador to the United Kingdom from 1957 to 1962. Photographs, personal belongings, drawings, letters, press cuttings and editions of his work show the three sides of Seferis that give the exhibition its name.

It is a rare chance to step inside the Ambassador’s official residence and see a room kept in his memory, so it is well worth booking for anyone who loves Greek poetry or modern Greek history.

Tours run on Monday 16 November at 14:00 and 15:00, and on Wednesday 25 November at 12:00 and 13:00. Entry is free, but you must book in advance and bring photo ID.
