The London Nautical Old Boys Association would like to extend a warm welcome to all former pupils. The association exists to help former pupils of LNS to keep in contact with each other and with the school. The school has a particularly long and distinctive history and the aim is keep that ethos alive. The Old Boys Association has at least one function per annum with an Alumni committee which meets throughout the year.

Alumni Writings
Memories from Mr Robert "Bob" Blowers
A great account from Bob about his experiences of the school skiing trip of 1954 once again mentioning the near legendary teacher Norman Fortune Fowler who figures in so many positive accounts of the post war LNS within the "grim confines" of the Broadwall site.

Clif attended LNS at the Broadwall "John Rennie" building in 1951 as preparations for the Festival of Britain were taking place and has included a great parade picture from the time.
