“At the TED talent search 2012 London, where I spoke about building a house with no money.” – Lena Edlund

As the TED team travels around the world hosting salons in 14 cities, we’re collecting great local stories. Here’s a quick report from TED@London, held April 22 at the British Library, 2012, and locally hosted by Julian Treasure of TEDxNewSt and Evan Grant of TEDxLondon.

Start with this personal story from Lena Edlund – in which she talks briefly about the inspiration for her TED talk.

An attendee shows her amazement at Eleanor Longden’s talk about befriending the voices in her head, in a tweet:

RT @IAMTols: A standing ovation for Eleanor Longden. What a testimony on hearing voices. Incredible woman. #Tedtalentsearch #tedxlondon
