What we're about
Bringing like-minded people with the same passions together in a fun social setting for FREE. Whether it's a particular genre of music/club night/dancing, theatre/acting, food, singing/rockaoake, sports/fitness, comedy, art, pub crawls, cutting edge science, spirituality actvities - we host free fun themed events to ensure only like minded people with the same passions get to meet and particpate as life is too short to spend time with people who do not excite and or engage you.
Our membership is biased towards successful but unpretentious career professionals with highly engaging personalities who are are socially skilled, outgoing, intellectually curious and creative with outstanding sense of humour! We value quality over mediocrity so attempt to constrict attendees to people with an authentic love of the event theme to both foster good engagement dynamics & keep attendees to a manageable size.
Our London events are hosted by a born Londoner who know the city and hidden gems inside out! We also avoid holding events in touristy/sleazy venues so attendees get to enjoy authentic London venues & experiences and meet native brits anf form long lasting connections easily. Typical past events have included stargazing, rockaoke, music themed clubbing events (80s, 90s, 70s, 50s, Hip Hop & Reggae nights), sports events (badminton, rounders, tennis), Halloween pub crawls/tours, exhibitions, dinners/food tasting/supper club, lunches/brunch, coffee, firework displays, talks/seminars, concerts - you name it - we've done it!
Waiting lists wise - when places become available, preference will be given to people with complete profiles who can demonstrate a genuine passion for the event theme, to the most loyal members and those with a close proximity to event location so it is parmount you fill out your profile!!
And here at Chillout, our philosophy is you shouldn't have to pay a premium to enjoy the things that you love so in accordance with the fundamental founding tenet of Meetup - the vast majority of our events are free - no profit motive here! However in rare cases, where direct or venue hiring costs are incurred for putting on a specific event, there maybe a small charge.
So, whether you’re originally from London or brand new to the city, here's to enjoying some memoriable crazy times out with a select audience and even forming strong new authentic long lasting connections along the way.

Please note, if you are identified to having different motives for attending events other than for socialising around a shared theme that you are truly passionate about or found to be harassing members or seeking sexual conquests you will be removed. For security screening and protecting our members - everyone must have a full face pic prior to attending an event so they can be indentified in the case of any issues. If any ladies recieve unsolicited contact from random people they have never met please feel free to report to me (so I can remove) and contact meetup site directly.

And now for some blatant testimonial marketing (generous bank transfers on way):
"His energy, event passion, beauty and brief conversation shifted my mindset tremendously in less than a few minutes which is very rare when attending meetups" Clare
"I went to Chillout London when I was new to the city from the USA and I always had a really great time. Everyone was super friendly. Lucas always has cool captivating themes and I always felt deeply engaged, never bored. I would definitely recommend!" Staci Schidmt
"The organiser is late often and as a former teacher I have no idea how he made it through school or university without being expelled but his events are so novel & addictive I just can't stay away" Reena Teacher
"Meeting Lucas and attending his event was a lovely experience. He had so much knowledge and passion. It was really good. Very impressive" Komal
"It's about time Lucas grew up, got a girlfriend/got married like the rest of his mates instead of wasting his time on this meetup nonsense. He should be hanging out with his real friends!" Adam Joslin
"The organiser is one of the funniest entertaining people I've met. He is really passionate about all his event themes and so there is always an air of excitement and never a dull moment. Now I'm a semi regular - I always leave either learning something new or laughing on the way home" Lorraine Norton
"Organiser jokes around a lot but I love him. When he was DJing at his club event party he refused to play Never Tear Us Apart for me so if you like good music I suggest you avoid Chillout events" Dominika Abel (Assitant Organiser)
