Join us for a rare and revealing conversation with Linda Calvey, the woman once dubbed “The Black Widow” by the press and one of the most notorious female figures in British criminal history.
From her early life in London’s East End to her entanglement with gangland figures, Linda’s story is one of love, loss, and lethal choices. In 1990, she was convicted of the murder of her lover and served 18 years behind bars. Her life has been the subject of tabloid fascination, true crime documentaries, and two bestselling memoirs.
In this talk, Linda reflects on her past with candour and complexity—sharing what led her into the criminal underworld, how she survived prison, and what redemption looks like after decades in the shadows. Expect an evening of startling honesty, dark humour, and an unflinching look at the choices that changed her life forever.
