About us
The London European Club is not a group, but a Community of curious and interesting people!
The LEC does not just give you the opportunity, just to socialise, enjoy cool events and meet like-minded people, but also to cross paths with inspiring people, develop long-lasting friendships, and enjoy and share many memorable moments with them.
This is not some cliche, chat GPT text, or anything like that, these are just true facts! It is what happened to me over the years as a member of the LEC :)
This is how I have felt for years within this Community. How I hope you do feel too soon!
For that, I would encourage you to attend as many events as you are able to...
Likewise, please do let me know if you are interested in organising yourself some of them. We are a group of varied organisers with different interests and skills, which makes this Comunnity one of a kind.
The Club was founded back in 2010 by Maja, who has handed over the driving wheel but is still much linked to it, to us :)
Regarding myself, I am Dulcinea, the current Lead Organiser, and look forward to welcoming you in our events.
Your first event will be FREE from Meetup/organisational fee for you to try us.
If you enjoy the event, we encourage you to join our 🔷Blue Diamond Membership, for a symbolic £10/year towards making the club sustainable in the long run.
Beyond helping to keep the Club running, your 🔷Blue Member status will waive all Meetup/organisational fees set up per single event until next Meetup's Fee renewal (September next year), among some other perks!
More info about our 🔷 BD Membership perks and how to become one in our event pages.
Thank you for reading me.
See you soon,
Dulcinea / Dul [Dool]

LSE Lecture: Why immigration policy is so hard
LSE, 20 Kingsway, London, GBLet's meet at Holborn tube station, on the left outside the main entrance on Kingsway. We'll walk down together at 6pm on the dot, please be on time, the venue fills up by 6.15pm!
I attended the first lecture and found it incredibly absorbing and fascinating. Prof Manning clearly knows his subject and presents both sides well: the pro-immigration people who want to change what we get, and the other side who want to get what they want. So the two camps never persuade each other. Also perception outweiging reality on both sides. Very illuminating. I can't wait for the other two lectures, the first was great.
"Join us for the 2026 Lionel Robbins Memorial Lectures which this year will be delivered by Alan Manning. This lecture is one of three based on the newly published book, Why Immigration Policy Is Hard.
In this second lecture Professor Manning examines the foundations of immigration policy and their implications."
Please register for your free entrance ticket (Meetup attendance fee applies), they are asking a couple of questions:

There was a Reception with a free drink after the lecture on 2 February as Prof Manning was signing his book. I don't know if they'll do the same after the second and third lecture.
Please note there is an attendance contribution of £3 which goes towards the yearly Meetup platform fee, and our organisers voluntary time, both necessary to keep this club alive and running! This fee will be split 50/50 between the host, Giselle, and the group organiser Dul, thank you.

French cinéma: A Private Life (2025)
Ciné Lumière, Institut Français, 17 Queensberry Place, London, SW7 2DT, GBFrench language film with English subtitles. Jodie Foster speaks fluent French, she speaks both French and English in this film so it's great that the Ciné Lumiere cinema at the Institut Français shows it in the original language with subtitles. I am excited to see this! I studied French for a while so I hope I'll understand a little bit.
Book your own ticket (standard £14, concs £12):
https://cinelumiere.savoysystems.co.uk/CineLumiere.dll/TSelectItems.waSelectItemsPrompt.TcsWebMenuItem_600.TcsWebTab_601.TcsPerformance_6613636.TcsSection_1928774"When sophisticated psychiatrist Lilian Steiner (Jodie Foster) learns of the death of one of her patients, she is deeply troubled. Convinced it was murder, she sets out on an investigation that takes her across France. Rebecca Zlotowski’s latest film (Grand Central, An Easy Girl) combines the tension of a thriller with a sharp reflection on the place of psychoanalysis in today’s world. Jodie Foster brings depth and brilliance to Lilian in her first major French-language role in more than two decades."
This was called a black comedy mystery thriller film ... with particular praise for Foster's performance, which earned her nominations for the César Award, and Lumière Award for Best Actress, becoming the first American to receive nominations in these categories in respective ceremonies.
Screen Rant: "What begins as an off-kilter character portrait of a prickly intellectual comfortably slides into a murder mystery investigated by an amateur sleuth with a personal life more chaotic than the lives of the people she treats."
Sony Pics Classics/YT: "A frisky, feminine, film noir about psychoanalysis and many other things…"
Let's go for a drink afterwards to chat about the film.
