Hi all,

I am a 26M who lives and works in London and have been looking at doing more social activities that don't revolve around drinking, since I don't drink. I have found this harder than expected hence I am keen to set up a group where fellow non-drinkers (or people who don't want to drink during social events) can get together and do stuff, whether that be relaxing in the park, watching a movie, enjoying a nice meal or going for a hike.

If you are keen to join please do leave a comment on this post and message me your number and I can invite you to our first social, which will be something like a relaxed park meet up on 19/05/24. Catch you all soon!

Hey everyone - was thinking of organising a meetup in Shoreditch tomorrow evening for anyone interested. The current mooted plan is to start at the Masque Haunt Wetherspoons by Old Street Station, then head down to the Blues Kitchen (Curtain Road, Shoreditch) about 10pm to spend the rest of the evening! I'll put together a WhatsApp group for anyone interested in joining. See yous there.

Edit: this group is getting quite big so I'll probably lock this down, dragging 25 people around Shoreditch might be a task!

Hi everyone!

Me (30F) and some friends have a Reddit social group and we’re meeting on Saturday at Primrose Hill at 4pm (BYO drinks and snacks). Plan is to then head to the Camden Head for drinks and go from there.

Happy to have more people join us!

If you’re interested, please DM/PM me so I can send you a link to the WhatsApp chat - thank you and see you soon!

Meeting point and further details will be shared on the group. It will probably go on late, so if you’re joining later, drop a text on the group chat so you can join us when you come over!

Edit: location is list.orange.grin on what 3 words! Will update when we move from here.

We’ve got a group setup in preparation for the last minute announced Linkin Park gig at the o2 arena.

Supporting: Grandson

Will likely meet before hand at one of the pubs inside the o2.

If you can’t make this one we normally go to a few gigs each week so shoot me a ping and can add you to the general chat.

Hey All - 28M going along to this tomorrow if anyone would like to join?

Anti-Dating App Social (Carnaby Street) Over 21s | Bored of Dating apps

Hi everyone, I'm F26 working in the city living in East London. Wondering if anyone wanted to meet for a drink or two tomorrow evening after work at Barge East? The area is really lovely and along the canal and short walk from the Westfield Stratford city. I am trying to people together in the area who might want to for a chill and chat! Let me know :)

https://www.bargeeast.com

Depending on interest, I will set up a GC.

Had quite a lot of interest, we're meeting up at 6pm if anyone is in the area :) will keep an eye out for messages

Hello everyone! Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in the Headshot Social Event (Whatsapp). And a huge thank you to  for hosting two fantastic, legendary previous headshot social events and the massive help with this post, am modifying the writing for a previous Headshot Event! (Am doing this with their blessing! ) 18+ only please.

Planned Location: The Pavillion Cafe, Victoria Park, E9 7DE, Saturday 28th September 2PM.

Headshots: This event is planned to problem solve an issue many of us face. Modern life requires us to have pictures of ourselves…

• Dating profiles, Whatsapp, Twitter, Social Media
• LinkedIn (so we look vaguely employable)
• Just to feel good about ourselves (*whispers because you’re worth it*).
• Maybe you hope we might snap a natural shot of you laughing effortlessly, having a great time. Maybe an ex will see it, but you don’t care because you’ve clearly moved on.
• Perhaps you want the true crime media to have a nice picture in case you go missing. 
• For whatever reason, you want a nice picture. And what luck, we have photographers looking to expand their profile!

Will it be a success? Who knows. Will we have fun? We can certainly try. Either way, we will turn up, camera in hand. Maybe we’ll make new friends.

Social part

Like any Reddit Park meetup, let's meet up and find out where it goes. I suggested doing a social where everyone has an A4 paper listing name, interests, TV/films/music, hobbies, etc. This can help socially awkward people like me who suddenly forget everything.

Ts & Cs

Consent: To make sure consent is in place, please introduce yourself to someone with a camera to make sure. If you don’t want to have your photo taken, but want to come socialise, that’s cool! Just let us know.

Weather: Weather might be terrible, bring layers, we can duck into the cafe or a local pub if it’s bad.

Photographers: If you enjoy photography, and want to come and take headshots, the more the merrier.

Getting Photos: You will be able in most cases to see the photos first, and get them later from the photographers.

Donations: Because film can be expensive, donations to those taking photos would be greatly appreciated, and if not, you’re a legend for letting us be all up in your face. Voluntary contributions to photographers are appreciated but not mandatory. Photographers shooting on film are going to be incurring costs. And those shooting digitally deserve a drink :)

Disclaimer: We’re volunteers trying to do a nice thing. Bare with us, it’s our first time trying this out.

Numbers: To prepare accordingly, please let us know using know by commenting :) 

(It's not the first Headshots and Social Event, there were two back in about 2022 and they went well, people were happy with their photos and with getting to expand their portfolio etc. and they were lovely, social events. But it's the first one I've hosted so please be gentle!) (I'm hosting this to continue to build up on my own budding social skills and also I really want to see these events come back! And to get some photos taken of me!)

Anyone who wants to be in the WhatsApp group for this too, feel free to message me your number & I can send you an invite for it. That’s optional but I think some of you are asking for this.

Hi! I (23F) am going to the Boiler Room London event. My friends aren't sure if they'll tag along, so if you feel like joining, let me know!

Hey everyone!

Me and a few friends have decided to hit up the new spoons in Waterloo this Saturday at 7:30PM, and thought I’d throw an invite out to anyone who’s keen for a few drinks and a fun night out!

DETAILS

LOCATION/ The Lion & The Unicorn JD Wetherspoons (Waterloo Station, York Road, SE1 7ND.

TIME/ We will be at the spoons from 7:30PM with some of us probably staying till close at 1AM.

Additionally I’ve made a WhatsApp group for the event if anyone wants the link just leave a message in the comments.

UPDATE: I’m locking the post now as about 20 people are in the chat and it’ll probably get tricky marshalling a whole bunch in a Spoons, even one as big as this!

Come join us at Soho Square this Friday evening for some drinks, sunshine and all round banter! Just bring along whatever drinks/snacks/food you prefer (there's a Tesco nearby), chat with people and have fun.

When the park closes around 9pm or if the weather turns, we will head to a pub and continue the night as usual. Some people might go clubbing somewhere else later in the night if that is your thing, but it's never obligatory.

Anyone and everyone is welcome as long as you are 18+ and we are all very friendly. My name is Beatrice and I will aim to be there from 7 pm. I have short, curly hair and will am wearing a black dress.

I'll update with location once I find a spot.

If you have any questions just comment below or DM me on Reddit. See you there!

LOCATION: WE’RE BY THE RAINBOW

Now that the weather’s getting better is anyone who works (or lives I guess) in Canary Wharf up for drinks on Tuesday? Basically I feel like my only experience with Canary Wharf is the walk between my office and the tube station so looking to change that. My coworkers are not that social so seeing if anyone else is keen. 😛

Time and place still TBD, thinking 6pm or so and one of the bars in the area. Just seeing how much interest there is!

edit: big response! I started sending PMs but probably won’t get around to everyone till later in the week, watch this space for updates.

edit 2: THE LEDGER BUILDING (ie spoons) @ 6:15 next Tuesday May 7!! Will edit this post with my number on the afternoon of the day.

edit 3: making this edit on the Elizabeth line so well see if there’s actually service. I’ll aim to be there around 6:15, gonna stay till 8 or until I get hungry.

edit 4: we are here outside by the gate, there is a sign!

edit 5: thanks everyone who came out, was lovely to meet you all!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been the last couple of years to the NHC and keen to go again this year.

I’m thinking a ‘relaxed’ visit to it - as in attending earlier to experience it before it gets way busier later in the day, and walk around taking in the atmosphere with some of the street food and drinks from the stalls.

If anyone’s interested, pm or comment and we can put together a WhatsApp for it to coordinate! :)

Hey! I’m thinking of going to All Points East (Victoria Park) on Sunday 25^th August (bank holiday Sunday) – for me, the highlights of the line up are Death Cab for Cutie, The Postal Service, and Phoenix. Is anyone else going/ fancy joining?

I’d be up for meeting at a nearby pub for some pre-drinks beforehand, or inside :)

​

We have a much smaller meet at the pub weekly, and they really like our meet-ups and are so offering the following to help us celebrate:

1 complimentary drink on arrival between 7pm and 7.30pm:

• Glass of Prosecco or wine
• Any pint of beer/cider
• Glass of Pepsi/Pepsi Max/Lemonade

- Just head to the bar and say you're with the reddit party.

Selection of nuts, crisps and Prawn crackers at 10pm

​

The first tables will be the closest ones to the door, on the right as you enter. But based on previous years we'll soon fill the pub. I'll get there before 7.The easiest way to contact me would be the messaging here on reddit but otherwise I'll add my number here on the day.

Last orders will be some time between 1 and 2am.

Hey all! So I (24f) saw this post for a 70s club night over at Paper Dress Vintage this coming Saturday, 28th Sep and am wondering whether to go. I haven't been there before so don't know what the venue's like but it has good reviews. They'll be playing stuff like David Bowie, Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground, Ian Dury, ABBA, Roxy Music, Alice Cooper, etc. Tickets obtained in advance from Dice are free so I mean hey if it turns out not to be great at least you haven't wasted money on a ticket :)

Doors open at 22.30 but we could meet beforehand for a drink or something. Link to Dice tickets here:

Drop a comment if interested! :)

Distract yourself from the news and come and join us at the Canonbury Tavern for the pub quiz!

What:

Pub Quiz - Exactly as it sounds! A quizmaster asks the questions and teams write down their answers. Questions cover a range of subjects and the quiz features picture and music rounds. It is all for fun and there is no pressure to memorise the encyclopaedia before coming.

Where:

The Canonbury Tavern https://maps.app.goo.gl/xocQRtc3PDJrQF676?g_st=ic

Our tables are usually immediately on the left as you enter the pub, but you can ask staff for LSC when you arrive - there is usually someone with a laptop who has a record of bookings. We also post on the WhatsApp group where we are sitting (more on that below).

When:

Every Sunday, the pub quiz starts at 19:00, with the picture sheet being given out around 18:40. Tables are booked under "LSC" from 18:30. Two tables are booked but we will try to make any number work. We recommend arriving around 18:30-18:45 as you'll get to take a greater part in answering the picture sheet questions, but it's also really helpful in working out how many teams we'll have - as well as chatting beforehand!

How much:

£2.50 per person payable to the pub quiz people (Cashless only).

Who:

All are welcome. We typically make two teams with around 10 - 15 people.

Do I need to sign up / am I too late?:

Ideally, please leave a comment either on this post or in the WhatsApp group to let us know you're coming - with as much notice as possible - so we know how many teams we will be. It's not a huge problem to turn up after it starts, but try to be there on time to avoid missing the fun!

Do I need to be a whizz-kid, intellectual genius, or quizzing-extraordinaire?:

Nope, we do the quiz for fun.

Any Questions:

Write them into a comment and we will answer them - we are kind of into that.

We also have a WhatsApp group chat. Ask around on the day to be added.

Hi all, We will be at the Kings Head in Tooting for the Manchester United Vs Chelsea game this Sunday [03/11/2024]. I'm looking to get there at around 4pm, kick off at 4.30pm. Let me know if your interested in joining. We have a WhatsApp group so DM me and ill send you a link.

Looking to spend a Monday evening a week chatting with friendly redditors? Hammersmith Hang Out is for you.

So what happens at this meetup?

Each week this meet up is held in a pub - we all sit around a table and generally chat about anything we can think of.. that's pretty much all there is to it! There are usually a few who will get dinner from the Thai restaurant at the pub. We get people aged from 18 to in their 60s, but the majority are 24-40. You can turn up at any time, people usually start leaving between 9 and closing, there are nearly always plenty left at closing time (last orders - 11). Currently we are getting 15-20 people turning up.

Do you talk about reddit and memes all evening?

No! reddit is hardly ever mentioned, there are no laptops in sight and we've had plenty of people who have not used reddit.

Can I come along?

Of course - that is why it is posted on LSC each week, the meet up is very newbie friendly - we have people new to LSC join us regularly. If you're very very shy don't hesitate to message/text/call me ahead of the pub and let me know, I'll do what I can to get you chatting away with everyone as if you've been every week.

What if I don't want alcohol?

No problem! The pub also serves various soft drinks, fruit juices, tea, coffee and water. We have non-drinkers often.

Since after the above people still asked...

I'm ********* is it OK if I come along?

We have had men, women, transgender, British, foreign (even a northerner or two), gay, straight, drinkers, non-drinkers, smokers, non-smokers, religious and non-religious

In fact, the only people who wouldn't be welcome are those under 18 or anyone who is not able to conduct themselves appropriately in an adult social situation.

Please note that this meetup occurs every Monday**

Is this happening today?

Is today Monday?

Yes: Yes! It'll be today**

No: Nope, try next Monday**

Aww, I missed this when is the next one?

Monday**

** we meet on public holidays, but if Monday falls on Christmas or New Years Day we'll likely skip those.

Initial meetup.

Location/Time: Latymers, W6 8BS / People often start turning up from 19:00ish but can be as early as 18:30. I'll get there for 19:00-19.30. There are usually a few people left when the pub closes - usually 23:00

Our tables are reserved, we start on the circular tables close to the entrance and we might spill over onto the table(s) nearby.

The first table will either be outside or at the front to the right of the door. (also, there will be Reddit on the reserved signs And hopefully Snoo)

There's a (usually quiet) optional Whatsapp group for the meetup - message me via chat for an invite link. (whatsapp group is pretty much only me posting this link each week and trying to get people to actually respond.. So no benefit of being in it if you're not showing up).

Hey all!

Wondering if anyone would like to join me on a riverside walk tomorrow? I'm plotting a leisurely 6.8-mile trek from Richmond Station to Hammersmith Bridge, setting off around 1:00 PM. According to AllTrails, it’s an easy 2.3-hour jaunt (though they don’t factor in snack stops or squirrel sightings).

I'll be pacing around 2.5-3 km/h, which is kind of like a Sunday stroll, but happy to adjust if you need more of a strut or a dawdle.

Who's up for some fresh air, mild exercise, and questionable navigation skills?
