It begins as your typical boy meets boy. Tom and Ming meet on a night out at university and fall hard for each other. It’s not long before they are planning a future and building a life. Then Ming announces her intention to transition. As Tom and Ming both face shifts in their relationship and confront the vastly different shapes their lives have taken, they must both ask if it is worth losing a part of themselves – or each other – to become the people they want to be. ————————————— Join us at Canova Hall to discuss Bellies over a coffee!

Hello lovely girls 💛 We’re hosting another girls-only meetup. The last girls meetup of the season with one simple intention: to offer a safe, comfortable space for girls to mingle, connect, and share—at their own pace. This meetup isn’t about structured activities or forced networking. It’s about being yourself, having real conversations, and maybe even finding a best friend forever ✨ What to Expect: * A relaxed, judgment-free environment * Space to mingle, talk, listen, and connect naturally * No pressure to participate beyond your comfort level * Some easy starters could be: What do you do? What are your passions? What’s been on your mind lately? And if small talk isn’t your thing—feel free to skip it and speak your heart out. Our Approach We may gently shuffle groups only if members are comfortable and open to it. If conversations are flowing naturally, we’ll let them be. Your comfort always comes first. A Note on Respect & Privacy: Everyone joining this meetup is expected to: * Respect each other’s privacy, boundaries, and comfort * Keep shared conversations confidential * Be kind, inclusive, and supportive This is a girls-only safe space, and we take that seriously. A Quick Note About the Venue This is a free meetup, and there’s no participation fee. However, as a small thank-you to the venue for hosting us, we kindly request everyone to order at least one drink, cake, or something to eat—whatever you feel like ☕🍰 Please also be patient and respectful with the staff. If we’re a larger group, there may be slight delays with orders, and we truly appreciate everyone’s understanding and kindness. ✨ Stay Connected with London Social Connect ✨ We share upcoming events, community highlights, and social moments on our Instagram, so give us a follow to stay connected with the group. https://www.instagram.com/lsc.2026?igsh=MTVkenpmZWptZmhldA==

Join us for a relaxed afternoon to enjoy good company and good food, meeting fellow metalheads and making new friends! 🎉 We’ll meet on Sunday 1 February at The Owl & Hitchhiker (Archway) to grab some pizza and drinks. This event is open to women, and those who identify as female, within our community. It's a chance to connect in a friendly, inclusive setting that isn't a gig or club night. 🍕 Please RSVP so we can reserve enough space for the group. 🤘 While their kitchen is currently closed, we can order pizza at our table from Yard Sale.

This month we’ll be reading Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan
