What we’re about
Welcome to the South West London Social Club!
This group is for outdoor lovers who enjoy activities such as walking, biking, camping, and exploring historic places. We also love to eat, drink, play, listen to live music, and visit museums and art shows.
Our meetups include hiking, walking, padel and more. We also offer activities like guided meditations, arts writing, and creativity exploration for empowerment and mindfulness.
Join us for a fun and adventurous experience while connecting with like-minded individuals who share a passion for outdoor activities and cultural exploration. Let's make memories together!

After the hike, we will find a cosy spot for a coffee or snack and perhaps some creative writing if the muse strikes.

Let's take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life and find peace in the tranquillity of nature.
