What we’re about
L Community’s Lesbian Pub Socials
A women-only network for lesbians and bisexual women – online, offline, or both.
We run relaxed events across London and through our private app. Some women come for friendship. Some for dating. Some just to feel seen. Most come alone. Most leave connected.
This space is for biological females only. That boundary is clear, and our hosts uphold it. If that’s a problem, this isn’t your group.
Women in their 20s to 70s regularly attend. The atmosphere is calm, grounded, and respectful – no pressure, no performance.
This is just one of L Community’s six Meetup accounts in our network. Attendance numbers shown here reflect only this group – actual attendance will be higher as the event is advertised across all six accounts.
Why It Exists
This isn’t a side project. It’s infrastructure.
L Community is building the first dual system of:
– 100% female-run and member-built.
– a women-only app (live now)
– A CIC fighting to open the first female-only lesbian venue in London, after Southwark Council blocked our lawful application and gave the space to others. We’re not backing down.
We run this without institutional funding. That means every banner, every platform feature, every reply to a DM is paid for by women not brands, not donors, not anyone else.
We suggest:
£7 per in-person event
£3.50 per digital event
This helps cover staffing, hosting, app bugs, moderation, legal costs, and operations.

Female-only Lesbian Meet & Mingle
The Phoenix, 37 Cavendish Square, Greater, London, GB36 attendees from 5 groupsA weekly in-person night for drinks and conversation.
This is a relaxed evening for chatting, meeting new women, and building real connections. Women come from their 20s to their 60s – some brand new, some regulars. It is usually half new members and half returning, so you will never feel like the only newcomer. Most arrive solo, and we make sure you will not feel it.
If you are nervous, the WhatsApp group is the best place to start. Many women join there first, so by the time they come along they already recognise a few names. It is also used for daily chat between events, which makes it easier to feel part of things straight away.
Table booking is under the name Jenny.

We are building the UK’s first female-only lesbian venue. Southwark Council blocked our lawful application. We are now taking them to court in a landmark Equality Act test case. What happens here will decide whether councils across the UK can keep excluding women-only services, or whether they will finally be forced to obey the law.Pledge your support here: www.crowdjustice.com/case/first-female-only-lesbian-venue/
