London Ladies' Childfree by Choice

✨ Welcome! We’re glad you’re here! ✨
If you’re Childfree by Choice, you’re in the right place.

We’re a women-only community for intentionally childfree women looking for genuine friendship, continuity, and a real sense of belonging in London.

Our group is currently capped at 50 members and operating a waitlist. Applications are considered based on thoughtful, self-aware responses and overall community fit, rather than simply in order received. Referrals from existing members may receive priority.

Exceptions to the 50 member cap may be made in the case of an outstanding application.

Before applying, please read our community guidelines:

To apply: please answer all membership questions fully and thoughtfully, and include a clear profile photo and at least your full, real first name (surname optional).

There are no “right” answers. We simply want to understand who you are, what you’re looking for, and whether this feels like the right community for all of us. Every application is read with care, and thoughtful answers are your first small investment in the community you may soon help shape.

Many childfree women find their social circles increasingly centred around children and family life. This group exists to create something different: a place where your life path is understood naturally, familiar faces become friends, and relationships can deepen over time.

Our dinners, walks, coffees, book club and recurring gatherings are especially suited to women who are:

• New to London
• Building a stronger local network
• Looking for a social home base
• Genuine long-term community

Most members are over 35 and prioritise balanced lives, health and wellness, and lasting friendships. The women who get the most from the group attend regularly, participate, and invest in getting to know others.

If your social calendar is already full and you’re mainly browsing groups for occasional one-off events, this probably isn’t the right fit. If you’re ready to help build something meaningful together, we’d love to welcome you.

Our WhatsApp Community
WhatsApp is where friendships continue between meetups. It’s intentionally structured, moderated and low-noise, with separate spaces so you can choose exactly how much you want to engage.
You can stay entirely within Announcements and Meetup Events for important updates and early RSVP access, without joining social chats.

After your first event, you can opt into conversational groups for recommendations, shared interests and spontaneous plans. Our popular “Anyone Want to Join Me?” group helps members find company for theatre, exhibitions, restaurants, drinks, tennis, day trips and more — and several official events have started there.

For trust and comfort, conversational spaces open after we’ve met you in person. More personal groups, including Women’s Health, Feminist Discussion and Neurodivergence, open after two events.

Joining the WhatsApp Community is now a requirement for being a member of the Meetup Group. Over time, we have found that people who do not join the WA never attend events and therefore are taking up a membership space for women who would like to join and participate straight away in the community.

If you do not join the WA Community within 10 days of being accepted into the Meetup Group, you will be removed.

Subgroups include:
📚 Childfree Book Club — Female friendship, relationships, women’s lives, personal growth and the occasional spicy romance.
