CLH Coffee Morning | Secular Conversations

Join Central London Humanists for a relaxed Saturday coffee morning near Tottenham Court Road.

This is a friendly gathering for secular humanists and other non-religious people to connect and explore science, philosophy, and how we understand and approach life.

What shapes our beliefs? How do we decide what matters? What can science tell us about ourselves—and what questions remain open? We’ll explore these questions from a secular, humanist perspective, drawing on reason, evidence and human experience without relying on divine or supernatural explanations. Bring your curiosity, questions and experiences. No specialist knowledge or preparation is needed.

What to expect

Informal conversation over coffee or tea, starting with brief introductions so newcomers feel included. We’ll explore ideas together, give everyone space to contribute and make room for different perspectives. You are welcome to listen at first.

People of all genders and backgrounds are welcome. Younger participants are welcome with a parent or guardian who remains responsible for their supervision and wellbeing.

When and where

Every other Saturday, 10:00am–12:00pm. Please check the date on this listing and RSVP separately for each session.
