About us
The Putney Social Group is friendly and welcomes people from all over London (and indeed the World). We organise a variety of Social Events every month, usually in Putney but we do go further afield too.
Events we regularly run include…
**Our very Popular "New Members make lots of new Friends Night" - Where you get a chance to meet lots of new people in one evening! You are seated with 4 people to chat for 15-20 mins, then (a bit like musical chairs) everyone gets up and moves to another table to meet another group of 4 people. Then we keep swapping the groups around every 15-20 Minutes, to give you the best chance to meet lots of people in 1 night.
**Social Meet Ups - Where we try to reserve a separate area for the group to come together in a pub and meet other Putney Social members.
**We also run a monthly Co-Working Day for Freelancers on the last Friday of the month.
**In the summer months we have our Social Meet Ups by the river next to Putney cinema and attract 60-100 people.
Any member in our group can suggest events and we welcome certainly new ideas. We're currently thinking about wine tasting and maybe a secret cinema event, so do join the group.
We hope to see you at an event soon. All the best Daniel and the Putney Social team.
