I don't know if this recurring event still happens. I heard that Vandome Cycles (https://www.vandomecycles.co.uk/) took over the cycle4all project but I'm unclear what events they have. The cycle4all.com website is no longer live. ====== All ability cycling. See www.cycle4all.com. Come and see us on Tuesdays from 4pm till 7pm. Contact us in advance so that we can bring a cycle for you to try to meet your needs (subject to availability). Membership fees and session fees payable to Cycle4all.

PLEASE NOTE YOU MUST book and pay for your ticket in advance at https://www.privateequitynetwork.co.uk/ The London Family Office & Private Equity Business Networking Committee would like to extend you an invitation to our June 2026 Networking Reception to be held in the private lounge of Sterling Bar the the Famous Gherkin - and hope you can join us for after-work drinks, canapés and productive networking to make new contacts and ideas for 2026.

PLEASE NOTE YOU MUST book and pay for your ticket in advance at https://www.privateequitynetwork.co.uk/ ALSO PLEASE NOTE we take most of our event bookings through our website and EventBrite so the numbers booked is much larger than displayed on this Meetup page (normally about 40-60 guests).

This is where we dicuss cycling issues in Waltham Forest and decide any group actions such as rides and events as well as liaison with the Council. We try and keep it short and usually go to the pub afterwards. (The Drum on Lea Bridge Rd or William IV on Leyton High Rd)

Half the world uses TikTok to self-diagnose, while older generations still treat mental health as a taboo. Psychology buzzwords from "social anxiety" to "gaslighting" to "love languages" are everywhere on the internet. But is everyone genuinely struggling, or are we just following the latest online trends? Let's find the middle ground between real healing and social media hype. We'll discuss: 1. **The Over-Diagnosis Epidemic:** Is your ex a real narcissist, or did they just forget to text you back? 2. **Social Anxiety vs. Shyness:** Has internet culture turned the most simple social scenarios into a therapy problem? 3. **The Generational Divide:** How do we talk to older generations about mental health without being dismissed? *Join a room of international minds, creative professionals, and cosmopolitans for our weekly late-night conversation lounge. We skip the small talk to dive directly into the gray areas of relationships, modern culture, and society.* *Come for the perspective. Stay for the connections.* **🍸 THE VIBE** * **Curated Conversations:** Sharp, spicy, and unfiltered topics. We tackle everything from cultural identity to institutional trust - we focus on personal philosophies and lived experiences rather than rigid point-scoring. * **Cinematic Backdrop:** Hosted in the moody lounge of Curzon Aldgate, perfect for late-night cocktails and deep chat. * **Fluid Mingling:** An organic mix of curated group discussions, then unstructured socializing over drinks. * **A Global Collective:** Connect with international graduates, London's creatives, open-minded travelers, etc. **🕒 THE RUN SHEET** * **19:30 – 20:00 \| The Warm Up:** Arrive, grab a cocktail, and settle into the lounge space. * **20:00 – 21:30 \| The Hot Takes:** We move into our hosted conversation circles. We rotate groups so you meet everyone. * **21:30 – Late \| The After\-chat:** The lounge bar stays open for late-night mingling and drinks. **📜 HOUSE RULES** 1. **Challenge Ideas, Not People:** We love strong opinions, lightly held. No personal attacks. 2. **No Soapboxing:** This is an exchange of perspectives, not a lecture. Leave your monologues at home. 3. **Be Present:** Put the phones away during the conversation circles. 4. **Open Minds Only:** Bring your cultural background, leave your judgment at the door. **📍 THE DETAILS** * **Where:** The Lounge Bar at Curzon Aldgate, 2 Canter Way, E1 8PS. * **Entry:** Free entry. Kindly support the venue by ordering a drink or snack at the bar. * **Dress Code:** Smart/City Casual * **Transport:** Aldgate East, Aldgate, Tower Hill/Gateway stations are all within a 5-minute walk. **🌎 ABOUT US** **World Citizens** is London's premier cosmopolitan collective.
