London 20 & 30s Community | The Great Friendship Project

Back by popular request, on Friday 30th May - we'll be once again hosting one of our most unique and special socials... our latest Jenga Games Night.

Yep that's right - we'll once again be heading to one of our favourite pubs in Central London for another memorable evening of Friday social fun.

If you’ve never played it before, our Jenga Games Night combines the suspense of a game of the classic game, but with an exciting twist.

Like a normal game of Jenga, you will have to carefully choose a block and delicately dislodge it, without causing the tower to tumble.

But on the underside of each block, you’ll find an exciting game, dare, question or challenge that you or your whole table will have to complete.

Some of these are little mini-games we’ve created to help you get to know your table better, some are designed to test your wit and creativity, and others simply are there to help add some extra fun to the game.

Best of all, later on in the night - when you've had enough Jenga, we'll then be dusting off our large collection of Board Games for you to enjoy.

From classics like Exploding Kittens, social deduction games like Secret Hitler and Werewolf, to party games like Codenames and Scrawl - we've got a range of great games to keep the fun going long into the night with your new friends.

WHERE/WHEN

Another Sunday. And to make the most of the Summer weekend, we've lined up a special Social Walk & Pub trip, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

Yep, we’ll be visiting perhaps the most beautiful walking spots in the whole of London, Richmond Park.

To kick things off - you'll be allocated a team for an initial mix of fun and light-hearted games, designed to help you break the ice and get to know your fellow walkers a little better.

After the games, we’ll then set off on our 2-3 hour hike through some of South West London's most stunning green spaces.

To start off the walk, we'll head along the River Thames and up to one of the most famous and well-photographed viewpoints overlooking Richmond.

Next, we'll venture into Richmond Park, one of London's Royal Parks - known for its wide open spaces and stunning grasslands.

If you haven't visited before, the park is renowned as a wildlife sanctuary, and you might spot the resident deer herds along the way.

We'll then pass through Putney Heath and finally finish up at the Green Man in Putney, where you can grab a drink, play some games, and continue getting to know your fellow hikers.

WHERE/WHEN WE WILL MEET

Back by popular demand, on Wednesday 4th June - we’re hugely excited to be hosting our latest Drink & Do Crafts Night!

Yep we’ll once again be getting our creative juices flowing and heading to Knightsbridge for an evening of crafts and social drinks, exclusively for 20s and 30s.

The theme of the night will be "Summer Time", celebrating everything we love about the season.

And we’ll be providing paints, brushes, and everything you need to create your own summer-inspired masterpiece - whether it’s a flowing field of wildflowers, a glowing campfire under the stars or a dreamy beach seascape.

But that's not all as you’ll also have the chance to sculpt with air-dry clay, a fast-drying material perfect for crafting a charming sea creature ornament, a small flower pot or a delicate seashell trinket dish.

And once the crafting is done and your creations are complete, we’ll clear the tables so you can unwind, grab another drink, and get to know your fellow artists.

Best of all, whilst painting and crafts can cost over £40, this whole evening of social painting is just £4.95!

So, if you're up for a creative midweek evening, join us this for this latest evening of art, fun and great company.

WHERE/WHEN

On Friday 6th June, we're excited to be hosting a brand new and unique edition of Friday night fun... our very first “Territories” Pub Crawl Race.

Like our other board game-inspired races, this live-action strategy game takes inspiration from the classic board game Risk, reimagined across 32 pubs throughout London.

The game is played on a virtual map, with each pub on the board representing a “country” that can be claimed, reinforced, or conquered.

Your mission: claim territory, build empires, betray and devastate your enemies, and rise to power through absurd feats of bravery, sabotage, and sheer pettiness.

You can claim a territory with as little as one person in your team buying a drink (soft drinks included), with each subsequent drink adding to your troop total.

But territories can also be stolen - so if you fail to adequately fortify your land, other teams may swoop in and seize it by outnumbering your troops.

There’ll also be fun, war-themed challenges at each pub that you can complete to earn bonus troops.

Each country on the map has a different value, and there’s a bonus for conquering an entire continent, so you’ll need to plan your attacks, pick your battles, and think like a pub-crawling warlord.

At the end of the night, the team with the highest total territory value will be crowned champions.

But of course, it’s not just about the game - the evening is also a chance to connect with loads of like-minded 20s and 30s, while enjoying an unforgettable start to the weekend.
