We are "Languages in London"
A highly diverse and international community, from across the world and a variety of backgrounds, with one thing in common - We♥️Languages
Our language exchanges and socials have the most international languages (over 50) and the most countries (over 80) represented in our events which are organised 3 to 4 times a week across London in Covent Garden, Aldgate, Clerkenwell, Hammersmith and Brixton. We regularly have over 100 participants attending our events every week and have had over 130 attendees in our weekend events alone!
We announced our arrival, with a wonderful launch party on Friday 22nd September 2023 🍾🥂
Since then, we've already organised over 180 events and consistently have the largest number of countries and languages represented in our events in London. Others may copy our event descriptions and even our branding, but there is only one "Languages in London" www.languages.london .. watch out for cheap imitations!
Many of us are multilingual and collectively we're fluent in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, German, Russian, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Hindi, Arabic, Korean, Portuguese (including Brazilian), Polish, Turkish, Darija, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, Greek, Swedish, Bengali, Hungarian, Bulgarian, Farsi, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Catalan, Urdu, Welsh, Czech, Gaelic, Estonian, Romanian, Thai, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Latvian, Slovakian, Punjabi, Marathi, Tamil, Telegu, Kannada, Yoruba, Ebo, Creole (Mauritius and La Reunion), Afrikaans, Kurdish, Turkmen, Armenian, Kazakh, Tagalog, Nepali, Filipino, Tamazight, Mongolian, Icelandic, Sinhala, Malagasy, Twi, Tok Pisin and many more. Whatever your language, this is the event for you.
Language exchanges are definitely not all the same. We value quality over quantity. Give us a try and you'll quickly see the many differences between Languages in London and the others. Once you've tried the rest, come and find out why we're considered the best London language exchange 🥇
Note: These are NOT dating events.

- We care about your safety and well being. We don't tolerate harassment or prejudice of any kind, at any time.

- All of this and more and you contribute just £2 per event!
How it works...
At each language exchange, collect and wear your personalised and sustainable languages badge as soon as you arrive at the venue. This is an important event rule that applies to everyone.
As well as acting as an icebreaker your badge helps the bar staff identify you as a member of our community, so every time you buy your drinks and food, they know you're supporting them too. This helps us keep our dedicated events space.
Now you're ready to start having fun... lots of fun 😀
What we ask of you..
- We host our language exchanges in specially selected bars and pubs, We ask all attendees to buy something from the bar (drinks and / or food),as this supports our wonderful venues, who give us our dedicated space every week.
- Be respectful and polite to everyone. Others will reciprocate.
- Look after your belongings. Remember the venues are public spaces.
- Another simple rule - Be considerate. If you've confirmed your place at our events but can no longer attend, you should update your RSVP asap and definitely before the event starts. It only takes a few seconds. "No-shows" are ALWAYS removed from our group!
- Have fun...lots of fun! 😄
- Spread the word..If you enjoy our events, please consider posting a review and share your experiences with others, so we can grow YOUR community 💜 Did we mention our 1300+ reviews rated 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars 😉
Where are the events happening and how can you attend?
Please check our language exchange schedule on MeetUp or our dedicated website www.languages.london for the latest event information and remember to always confirm your place to attend our events.
What else?
We believe London is the most cosmopolitan city in the world. The people who live, work, study and travel to and through London speak hundreds of languages, from around the world.
Our community of both locals and internationals enjoy meeting like minded people on a regular basis, to make new friends, share experiences and of course practice and improve their language skills.
We were delighted to have had the opportunity to discuss details of Languages in London and it's activities on live radio with Winifred Robinson, the lovely presenter of the BBC's Radio 4 program "You and Yours". What a pleasure!
Who should come to our events?
Everyone, that is happy to meet Londoners and people from around the world in a fun, welcoming and safe space. People like you😊
Our events are open to everyone, whether you speak one language or you’re a polyglot. Whether you're joining us on your own or with a group of friends or colleagues, everyone gets the same warm welcome. Always💙
What you can expect
We’ll introduce ourselves and then help you join the event, with a little help of your own personalised languages badge.
Your badge will help you to start up a conversation and exchange with other community members, within seconds!
Sustainability - As well as Languages, we love our planet too. We sanitise (with anti bacterial and disinfectant cleaners), re-use and recycle all badges and lanyards that are used at our events. Like you, we strongly believe sustainability and caring for the environment are vitally important 🌳♻️
Another simple rule - Please remember to return your badge before you leave the event. This helps us keep the events sustainable and our costs down. Thank you for being kind to OUR planet 🌏💚
