Hi guys, I'm going to a ticketed mahjong session for newbies on 8th Nov in Southwark for those who are keen to learn how to play the game (& will be a great way to meet some cool people w/ genuine conversations) - excited to hopefully go with some of you from this group for the event.

DM me if you're keen on going :)

(PS: I know the hosts and have attended their first event too)

This Sunday is World Vegan Day. Meat and dairy replacements have become much better over the years - vegan cheese is now really quite good - but they still really haven't cracked bacon, have they?

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.

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 12 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, and with how many people - with as much notice as possible - so we know how many teams we will be and roughly how many per team. 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 in person to be added.

Hey! I’m 27F based in West London and wondered if anyone would be up for getting together to read plays aloud? I really enjoy immersive reading and reading aloud and think it would be fun to each take a character and read through a play together. I’d love to start with The Barber of Seville by Beaumarchais. Nothing serious just casual and no acting experience needed, just a relaxed and fun way to get into a story and meet some people!
Haven’t figured out a meeting place yet or logistics yet

EDIT: There’s some interest. PM me I’ll set up a WhatsApp or discord group to talk logistics :)

Let’s go to the National Portrait Gallery this Friday, they are open until 9 pm. 

We will meet at around 19:30 by the main entrance and wander around a bit.

The entrance is free (donations appreciated). They have a very nice shop with all sorts of accessories.

About me: Rina, 35F, interested in arts, history and museums. I know the gallery a bit so, probably, will have some anecdotes to share.

I’m not sure who came up with this idea or how long the festival has been running, but it sounds great! I’m planning to go on one of the days, it would be cool to have someone to go with. (38m, looking for +/- 10 yrs ish politically engaged people ✌️)

“Love games. Hate capitalism.

Games Transformed brings organisers into games, and game makers and players closer to organising. 
Through festivals, events, and partnerships, we explore how games can challenge power, build solidarity, imagine revolutionary futures, and collectively work towards liberation. 
We celebrate games as an art form, connect play with movement struggle, and create spaces where cultural work, political education, and collective imagination intersect to inspire new worlds.”

Hello everyone,

To all the Portuguese people living in London, I would like to invite you to a Halloween pub crawl in Dalston this Friday at 7 PM! If you want to join, just send me a private message! It will be a great chance to meet some new friends who have just moved or are feeling a bit homesick ;)

What is it?

Europe’s largest immersive art experience, where the lines between art and reality blur.

Step through the portal into Absurd City, a parallel world filled with surreal installations, hidden surprises and mind-bending visuals.

This non-linear, self-guided experience is designed to spark imagination, whatever your age or ability.

There’s no right or wrong way to explore! Get involved in the story, hunt for hidden secrets, or simply enjoy an out-of-this-world day trip.

It's from the people who do this for Boomtown (festival). It comes highly recommended from some people who I spoke to who are sort of connected to the Boomtown side of it

Outing details:

We're going on Sat 12th Dec at around 1pm/1:30pm (two slots, some of the group are going for one, others for the other). We'll all be together once inside. You do your own adventure, or in small groups, but it will be nice to have friendly faces around. We're maybe 10 to 20 people so far

With the code ABSURD10, tickets are about £20.60 which you can book at the link above

There's a WhatsApp group for this event and also a general group for interactive and immersive theatre. Links can be shared via PM

Hey everyone! 👋

A few friends and I had planned a day out in London on Thursday, 26th November, with Hyde Park Winter Wonderland as our main destination. We originally booked tickets for 6 people, but unfortunately, 3 friends had to cancel. So, we now have 3 spare Winter Wonderland tickets and thought it would be a great opportunity to meet some new people and make new friends! 😊

Here's what we're thinking for the day:

🌅 Morning plans: We're considering a few options:

- 🤸 A trampoline park for some fun and laughs

- 🔬 The Science Museum

- 🌇 Sky Garden for amazing views of London

🎡 Later in the day: Head to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland to enjoy the rides, festive atmosphere, food, and Christmas vibes!

Nothing is set in stone yet, so we're open to suggestions. If you know any other fun places or activities we could try, feel free to share your ideas. We can discuss everything and make a plan together!

If you're interested in joining us on 26th November, feel free to comment or DM me. You don't need to know anyone beforehand. It's a great chance to meet new people, hang out, and enjoy a fun day in London! 🙌

Let's make it a memorable day! 🎄✨

#LondonMeetup #LondonSocial #WinterWonderland #MakeNewFriends

My mate can't make it tomorrow so I've got a spare ticket for Max Fry at Oslo. Free to anyone who'd genuinely enjoy it.

This is one of my favourites if you want a listen - https://open.spotify.com/track/1tidcc2QmF1dZN263LZuAb?si=jv2-1MqrR6mvZToBfE2-IQ&utm_source=copy-link

Happy to have a drink and watch it together, or just hand it over and you do your own thing. I'll send the ticket through the app.

Drop a comment if interested!

I'm Mike, 28 👋

A few of us are indulging in a Radiohead double header next Saturday

First up is the Hamlet Hail to the Thief play based on the incredible 5th album

We have about 4 tickets left for this at £30.50 (this date is sold out)
https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2026/event/hamlet-hail-to-the-thief

Then in the evening there's a tribute band Just Radiohead. I've seen them before and they're good. Closest you're going to get without a plane ticket as it stands.
https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/just-radiohead-tickets/artist/5369650

My preference for taking one of the play tickets is that the person comes to the evening gig too. People can also book just for the gig and join us.

I saw the play last year at Stratford-Upon-Avon. It was really good. I was there for the Radiohead side. My friend was there for the Hamlet. We both enjoyed, as did everyone else I've spoken to who went there or Manchester. It's 105 minutes instead of 3 hours and has lots of music too. Note there's been some sort of change with production companies, although I'm sure the effect is negligible especially if you've not seen last year's version.

There is a WhatsApp group - link via PM. There's also a WhatsApp group left over from last year's gigs where we share and talk anything Radiohead related. It's rather quiet now except when there's a release or event - link via PM too.

I’ve got a prepaid afternoon tea booking for two at The Ritz and, of course, the universe decided to be dramatic. My friend is super sick and can’t make it!

Now I’m stuck with a table, fancy cakes, scones, the whole lot and zero desire to let them go to waste. I’m covering the full bill, money’s already spent, not bothered in the slightest.

Just looking for good company to share it with.

27 male, if that makes a difference to you, but yeah anyone fancy joining me and drop me a message please 😊😊!

UPDATE: GOSH I GOT WAY MORE REPLIES THAN I THOUGHT! Sadly it’s filled but next month I want to go ‘TasteFilm’ or ‘Row on 5’ in Mayfair, so if you’re down to ping me!

So I've [38M] never been to a TG event before but really keen to check it out for this Halloween Ball!

Is anyone else going and up for a drink/meet beforehand? I'm planning to go solo, but it'd be cool to meet some others.

Also very much up for sharing costume ideas and helping each other out with outfits!

Casual, St James’s Park walk and chat on Saturday from 11am; open to everyone.

This Saturday, from ~11 am, St James’s Park (Westminster SW1). The plan: a very casual stroll and informal conversation.

Meeting point is by the entrance with the fountain. We will wait there for approximately 20 minutes before setting off.

Coordinates:

51°30'04.3"N 0°08'02.7"W

I'll share a google live location on the day of event.

See ya!

Hi, lovely people of LSC. I now have a spare ticket for Overmono Live @ Alexandra Palace on Wednesday. My original raving partner can't make it because of work, and now their replacement has been told she must travel somewhere tomorrow for work and can't make it either (bad luck, wasn't meant to be). It's a very nice midweek time: 6:30-11 pm. Wouldn't want the ticket to go to waste, and always up for meeting new dance music fans. It's for their new album, Pure Devotion: a beautiful project. Hit me up if you fancy it!

We were planning to meet up at a pub close by for a pint beforehand, so if you're up for that as well, even better!

Alternatively, if you're a group going and have room for one more in your squad, let me know.

A bit about me, cos it helps the posts here normally: M29, I'm a venue manager, into fitness and wellness and love electronic music (or most music, for that matter).

Going to this photography walk where you each get assigned a shape and capture it in your photos

Kind of a twist on a colour photography walk if anyone is familiar with that

It’s in the city - still waiting to hear what the exact start location is

Will just be using my phone camera

Hopefully see some of you there! I’m 29M btw

Some more details here: https://www.common-social.com/post/shape-photography-walk-v6b2 - I’m not the organiser, just joining

👻Hey, everybody, Happy Halloween!! 👻

Badminton combines fitness, strategy and friendship in a few hours a week!

What started as Lazy Sunday Badminton, with a handful of dedicated players braving cold December mornings, has grown into London Competitive & Social Badminton (LCSB), welcoming almost 200 players across East London!

We’re more than just a casual hit. We offer:

🏸 Ability-matched mixed doubles
⏰ Two-hour sessions for more time on court
🪶 Quality feather shuttles
📋 Structured fixtures and balanced rotations
🏆 End of session winners podium
🤝 A friendly, welcoming community open to all

We believe your time on court should count. Closely matched opponents mean better games, meaningful competition and more opportunities to improve.

📅 Saturday 31 October | 9–11am
📍 Newham Leisure Centre
🏸 Complimentary badminton racket loans for the session, to help you get back into it

Come for badminton, stay for the community.

It will be my 50th parkrun on Saturday so I’ll be going to Bushy Park for the occasion!
Start time: 9.00 am
Nearest train station - Hampton Court or Teddington.

I typically do the course in 23-25 minutes, however don’t worry if you are slower or faster as we can meet up before to have a chat or after for a debrief over coffee and breakfast or just enjoying an autumn stroll through the park.

I am 41M if it matters.

Hey folks,

I'm hosting Socials and Jokes next Tuesday at the Islington Townhouse in Angel, between 6.30pm - 9pm and running every Tuesday until December 15.

Good chance to meet new people and check out comedy mid-week. If you're interested, DM and I'll add you to the WhatsApp group, many thanks!

PS. Admins hope this one is okay 🫶

Ticket is on me :) (only have 1 extra)

Dodie Concert Details: https://earthackney.co.uk/events/dodie-26th-oct-earth-london-tickets-ww9kyr/

Where: London - EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney)
When: Tomorrow, Monday, Oct 26 at 7:30PM

TL;DR - Unfortunately, my partner can't make it to the concert anymore, but I would still love to go and am giving away 1x ticket to her London show!

I've been following Dodie for a long time—probably 10+ years!—and it's my first time seeing her live since I just moved to London, so I'm really excited. For both of our safety and peace of mind, I'd love to chat a bit on socials beforehand just to vet each other and make sure we're both real people.

You're more than welcome to hang out and attend the show with me, or just grab the ticket and enjoy it on your own—either way is totally fine! I just really wanted to gift this to another fan instead of letting it go to waste or selling it.

Feel free to DM me or comment here to get my attention
