What we’re about
Welcome to ND Smiley! Your Neurodiverse community in London.
We embrace all things Neurospicey, so join us at one of our events to socialise, share your experiences (or don't) and feel free to unmask in the presence of others who know.
We try to make our venues as accessible as possible and offer arts and crafts, games and relaxed socialising (with cue cards encouraged for those that would like to use them). There will also be peer support at hand to help unravel the overwhelming mysteries of advocacy and assessments.
So come along and find a friendly face at ND Smiley.
Neurodivergents of London, you have finally found your tribe!
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- 🍃 Battersea Park Picnic (BYO Food & Drinks)pear Tree cafe Battersea park , london
Join us this Saturday at 1PM for a chilled afternoon in Battersea Park! We'll be meeting behind the Pear Tree Café—just look for the picnic blankets and friendly faces.
Bring your own food, drinks, and something to sit on (blanket, mat, or camping chair). Feel free to come and go as you like—whether you pop by for an hour or stay till sunset, you're very welcome.
🧺 Bring along a board game or card game if you fancy it.
🌦 Weather backup:
If the weather turns gloomy, we’ll relocate to either inside the Pear Tree Café (if there’s space) or head over to Battersea Power Station, which has indoor seating and cafes.
Come along, hang out, and enjoy some friendly company in the park. Everyone’s welcome, especially if you’re new. See you there! 🎲🌳✨### 📸 Photo Note
