Submit Your Camden Poem to LondonVerse 2026

LondonVerse is a city-wide celebration of poetry marking the National Year of Reading 2026.

Spanning all 33 London boroughs, the project invites Londoners of all ages to share their voice and tell their story through poetry.

📚 Libraries Are Getting Involved

Libraries across the capital are supporting LondonVerse — including Camden Libraries, who are encouraging residents to submit their poems.

We’d especially love to see Camden-inspired poems, celebrating local people, places and stories.

Poems shared throughout the year will be celebrated, with a special showcase on National Poetry Day.
