What we’re about

Founded in 2008 WimbledonBookClub.Com is a reading group that meets on the second Monday of each month. We're friendly bunch in our 20's, 30's and the young at heart who like an "occasional" drink while we discuss contemporary paperbacks. We're really easy to get to if you live in Wimbledon, Putney, Southfields, Raynes Park, Morden, Balham, Tooting, New Malden, Sutton or Mitcham 😁

  • Our Theme for 2023 is: Dark Satires

We are also explicitly non-partisan and have a very firm "EVERYONE'S WELCOME" policy, be that man or woman, young or old, black and white, or left or right. We don't claim to be 'for' one group, which really means we're excluding everyone else. If you can read the book and get to the venue, you'll be very welcome along.

Being an adventurous bunch we often like to read something different. This could be Romantic Fiction, Literary Classics, Pulp Fiction, Crime Fiction, Current Affairs, Science Fiction or anything else that helps us become 'Well Read'. 
Except chicklit. We don't read chicklit 😉

Unlike some Bookclubs we are INDEPENDENT, don't have our books chosen by a Book Shop, marketing department, TV Chat Show, publisher or any other commercial interest. Our book choices are always about having a good read and a good nights discussion, not sales.
