About us

I set up this group because even though London has six million people, it can feel like a lonely place with little sense of community. I want to do my bit to help change that.

We do picnics, pub evenings, cultural outings, and whatever else sounds like a good idea at the time. Low pressure. No awkward icebreakers. Just grown-ups, doing things together.

If you're new to the city, newly single, newly unbothered, or just looking for people who get the references, you're in the right place.

Everyone welcome!

Important note:
The focus of this group is friendship and community building. This is a proudly consent-led space.

It is natural for people to meet, develop friendships that may turn into something more. Please be mindful that asking for contact details for someone you just met may not be appreciated.

Not everyone will want to connect outside of events.

If anyone causes you to feel uncomfortable, please contact Kieran (the organiser), he will robustly deal with any issues.

Picnic on Clapham Common!

Meet by the boating pond (also known as the Long Pond)

Map here :-)

Bring something to sit on (if you bring your bottom, thats ok), bring snacks (if you want, no pressure), but do bring your personality and special laughter good time trousers because we're here to have a fun time, make friends and engage in a laughs and good vibrations.

Very easy-going meetup, there's no icebreakers, no forced fun, no one making you wear a name tag. Just people sitting down together and actually chatting and havin fun.

What you'll get:
Real conversation, not "so, weather" small talk
A group small enough to actually meet people, not just nod at them
No one left standing alone looking at their phone like it owes them 20 quid.

What you won't get:
A forced group activity involving a parachute
Anyone making you "mingle"
Painful small talk

Bring snacks to share if you're feeling generous, or just show up with grapes and vibes. It's more important that you bring your fun self.

Loads of places near by for shops, toilets, or a strategic five-minute escape.

Look for the group near the pond,or message the this page and I (Kieran) will come and find you 🙂

If you're shy or a but nervous, do get in touch, I'd be happy to meet you a bit earlier, chat and then introduce you to others.

Important note: A consent-led space, creepiness, asking for someone's number within minutes of meeting them, being unkind, etc., is not tolerated. We're here to build community.
