What we’re about
Everything about Linux
After something of a hiatus, since February 2025 we will be meeting on every fourth Wednesday of the month (except December) at the Hand & Racquet in Wimbledon (25-27 Wimbledon Hill Rd, SW19 7NE). https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/hand-and-racquet
Come meet like-minded people, with a common interest in Linux, in a space with access to mains power and a large HDMI screen. Whether you are a complete neophyte or Linux warrior with decades of experience, come nerd out over your favourite projects, join the chat about distros, networks, open-source software, personal projects, ... or nothing related whatever. From time to time we may have talks or presentations, or additional special events, but this is primarily a social group with a common interest.

Since relaunching in February, we are meeting on every fourth (not last!) Wednesday of the month, and whilst it is the wrong end of the month for that most geeky of celebrations, Star Wars day, it would be remiss not to tip the hat. The venue is the Hand & Racquet in Wimbledon (25-27 Wimbledon Hill Rd, SW19 7NE). https://www.greeneking.co.uk/pubs/greater-london/hand-and-racquet
Come meet like-minded people, with a common interest in Linux. Whether you are a complete neophyte or Linux warrior with decades of experience, come join the chat about distros, networks, open-source software, personal projects, ... or nothing related whatever.
Chris and Gulraj will be sharing hosting duties with at least one of us present at each meetup. We realise that this venue is not as convenient for some people as our central London former haunts, but the pub is only 2 minutes walk from the station, and Wimbledon is well connected (only 17 minutes out of London Waterloo mainline, on the Sutton branch of the Thameslink, and a District line terminus, and the western-most point on the Croydon Tramlink).
The pub is on the flat, at street level, including the toilets, although the space reserved for us (presently, at least) is a raised mezzanine area up a small number of steps at the back of the pub. We want to be inclusive, so if this proves to be problematic we will seek to change arrangements with the pub in the future.
Please come join us. Sign-ups will after the previous event.
Directions from the station:
Exit the station through the main concourse (near the District Line platforms), turn right along the main road passing the station taxi rank (on Orinoco Lane) as you do so, cross Alexandra Road at the traffic lights. After the gym on the corner, pass the chemist to reach the pub.
