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.

Lesbian Speed Friending – Meet Women in Real Life (9 SPOTS LEFT)
The Queens Larder, 1 Queen Square, Holborn WC1N 3AR, London, GBWhat this is
In-person speed friending night for women who want to meet other women without apps or awkward small talk.You’ll have short one-to-one chats that rotate every few minutes, followed by time to stay and talk with anyone you click with.
Most women come on their own. That’s normal here. The format takes the pressure off and makes it easy to settle in, even if you’re a bit nervous at first.
This is friending first. Anything else happens naturally.
It’s a standing event with short conversations, followed by open social time. You don’t need to prepare anything or know what to say.
You won’t be put on the spot, and you won’t be left awkwardly standing around.If you’ve been wanting to meet more women in real life, this is a good place to start.
Most speed friending events have around 25 women attending.

Female-Only Lesbian Pool Night – Relaxed & Social (9 SPOTS LEFT)
Hurricane Rooms King's Cross, 2 King's Cross Bridge, London N1 9NW, London, GBWhat this is
A relaxed, social pool night for lesbian and bisexual women.You don’t need to be good at pool and it’s not competitive. Some women play properly, some mostly chat, some do a bit of both. Most women come on their own. That’s normal here, and it doesn’t feel awkward or cliquey once you’re there.
The games run for around an hour and a half, and most people stay on afterwards for drinks.
Women usually range from their 20s through to their 60s. Most weeks it’s a genuine mix of new faces and returning women.
If you’re feeling nervous, you won’t be the only one. Many women feel that way before their first event and end up staying longer than they expected.
Most pool nights have around 20 women attending.
