The Pumphandle Lecture, established in 1993, is an annual lecture held around September to celebrate the removal of the Broad Street pump handle that took place in September 1854 during the cholera epidemic in Soho. It is organised by the John Snow Society, named for John Snow, and takes place at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
Following the lecture the speaker performs a ceremonial removal and replacement of the pump handle and members proceed to the John Snow pub.[1][2][3]
