What this group is
This group is part of L Community, a women-only network for lesbians and bisexual women, both in real life and online.
We run relaxed events across London and online, including weekly socials, book clubs, pool night, speed friending, and virtual mingles. At most events it’s a real mix – roughly half new faces and half women who’ve been before – so you’re never walking into something closed or cliquey.
Most women come on their own. That’s very normal here, and we actively make sure you don’t feel like you’ve arrived alone. We make it easy to settle in at your own pace.
This is a female-only space. That boundary is clear and upheld at events and online. If that doesn’t work for you, this won’t be the right group.
Ages usually range from 20s through to 60s. Some women are chatty, some are quieter, some just want to sit back and see how it feels. There’s no pressure to drink, perform, or stay longer than you want.
Beyond Meetup, L Community also runs a verified app and private digital spaces. Our virtual events and online groups include women from all over the UK and internationally, so even if you’re not London-based, you won’t be the odd one out.

Join our Zoom mingle, every other Sunday, where women from across the UK and around the world come together to chat, make friends and build genuine connections.Women usually come from their 20s through to their 60s. There is always a mix of new and returning faces, and most women join on their own. You won't feel like you've walked into an established group.
Whether you're looking to make new friends, expand your social circle or simply spend an evening around other women, you'll be very welcome.
You are welcome to keep your camera on or off throughout the event.
For safeguarding purposes, we ask new attendees to briefly switch their camera on at the start so our hosts can confirm everyone is a woman. Once that's done, you're free to turn your camera off if you prefer.

Lesbian Quiz Night, Dates and Friends
The Queens Larder, 1 Queen Square, Holborn WC1N 3AR, London, GBLesbian Quiz Night, Dates and Friends – Meet Women in Real Life (NEW)
What this is
Lesbian Quiz Night, Dates and Friends is a pub quiz for lesbian and bisexual women who'd like to meet someone new, whether that's a date or a new friend.
Each round, you're paired up with a different woman to answer the questions together, so there's always something to talk about and no awkward silences. At the end of the round, you note down whether you'd like to see her again, as a date, as a friend, or not at all. Then you move on to your next partner.
We do the matching the next day. If you both said yes to each other, it's a match, and we'll send you each other's contact details.
The questions are fun and easy, from pop culture and music to lesbian icons, so no pub quiz brain needed, and there's a prize for the highest scorer.Tickets are £14, or £10 concession, and must be booked in advance at thelcommunity.com/quiz
Most women come on their own. That's normal here. Single or not, everyone's welcome, and feeling a bit nervous at first is completely normal.
You don't need to know lots of trivia. You won't be put on the spot, and you won't be left awkwardly standing around. Most women stay for a drink and a chat afterwards.
Women usually range from their late 20s to their 50s.

A relaxed Sunday afternoon book club for lesbian and bisexual women, meeting in person.Come along and find out what we're reading. Once you've been, we'll add you to the WhatsApp group so you can keep track of what's next.
Women usually range from their 20s through to their 60s. Most sessions are a genuine mix of new faces and returning women, so you won’t be the only person coming for the first time.
Most people come on their own. That’s normal here, and we make sure you don’t feel it. Hosts introduce people, keep things flowing, and make the space feel easy rather than awkward.
If you’re feeling nervous, you won’t be the only one. Many women feel that way before their first book club and end up staying longer than they expected.
