Sunday Asian Culture Social: Snacks, Chitchat & Board Games

Whether you’re from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, or anywhere else across Asia — or you’re simply curious about Asian culture and looking to meet warm, interesting people — you are genuinely welcome here 🙋

This is our regular Sunday gathering for anyone who enjoys Asian culture, food, languages, games, travel stories, and good company. Think of it as your Sunday ritual: a relaxed, welcoming space to slow down, connect, share a little of your world, and learn something new.
Each week has a light cultural focus, but the atmosphere stays easy and social. Some Sundays we explore Chinese names and Hanzi writing; other Sundays we play board games, practise languages, talk about food culture, share travel stories, or introduce tea, festivals, films, music, and everyday customs from across Asia.

🍱 Bring your own snacks to share
Snacks are not provided by the organiser, but you are warmly encouraged to bring a small snack to share — something from your culture, hometown, or simply something you enjoy. It’s one of the easiest ways to start a conversation.

*Loong Express also has food and drinks available to buy onsite. Since they kindly host our Sunday socials, we encourage everyone to support the venue by ordering a drink, tea, snack, or meal during the afternoon if you can.

🗣️ Language exchange
Practise Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Cantonese, English, or any language you’re learning in a relaxed, no-pressure setting. Native speakers and total beginners are all welcome.
🎲 Board games & chitchat
Unwind with tabletop games, party games, Mahjong, or simple social games. You don’t need to know the rules before you come.
💬 Free-flow conversation
Mingle, share stories, ask questions, make friends. No agenda, no performance — just a warm Sunday afternoon with curious people.
✍️ Occasional cultural activities
Depending on the week, we may also include a light activity such as Chinese names, Hanzi writing, tea culture, travel prep, food stories, or a short culture quiz.

A note on RSVP
If your plans change, please cancel your spot in advance so someone else can join. Some weeks include an opening activity, so late arrivals may miss the first part, but you’re still welcome to join when you arrive.

About the Host
Hosted by London Chinese Culture Meetup, supported by Nihao Serica — building cultural connections between the UK and Asia.
While our meetup is focused on creating a warm local community in London, we’ll occasionally share China culture and travel notes for anyone curious about exploring Chinese cities, food, heritage, and local life.
Come join us this Sunday at Loong Express. We’d love to meet you 🌈🥟🀄🍵
