## 🌍 **London Travel Now — London Chapter** Welcome to the London Chapter of **London Travel Now** 👋 This is a relaxed, community-powered travel meetup for people who enjoy exploring, planning trips, sharing tips, and meeting fellow travelers. London Travel Now is a multi-city travel community. Alongside in-person meetups, we also have our own community platform at: 👉 **[londontravelnow.com](londontravelnow.com)** where members can connect, plan trips together, and stay in touch between meetups. *** ## ✈️ Travel for Free\* (yes, really) We often get asked how this works, so here’s the simple version: *Trip organizers travel free on the trips they create and run.*\* If you: * plan the trip * handle the bookings * and bring the group together your spot on the trip is covered. \* *Free applies to the trip organizer once the trip reaches minimum participants and is confirmed. Contributors pay their own share.* You don’t need to be a travel agent — just organized, reliable, and excited about the trip. *** ## ☕ Where we meet We keep things simple and accessible — easy, central cafés, pubs, or casual venues around London. There’s no formal agenda and no presentations. Just show up, grab a drink, and chat. (Exact venue details will always be listed on the event page.) *** ## 🧭 How this meetup works (important) This chapter is part of a **community-led network**. * Meetups are community-powered and self-organized * The main London Travel Now organizer may not attend every event * Attendees are responsible for their own food, drinks, and arrangements * There may or may not be a designated local host at each meetup Think of this as a **casual, drop-in social meetup**, not a guided or hosted event. If you’re comfortable introducing yourself, joining conversations, and helping things run smoothly, you’ll fit right in. *** ## 💬 WhatsApp group (recommended) We also have a shared **London Travel Now WhatsApp community**, which includes spaces for different cities. 👉 Join here: [https://chat.whatsapp.com/GjmFuzbk0baFavZRN0JGTz](https://chat.whatsapp.com/GjmFuzbk0baFavZRN0JGTz) A London space is available inside the group so members can: * Coordinate meetups * Ask questions * Share travel ideas and plans * Stay connected between events Participation is optional, but it’s the easiest way to stay in the loop. *** ## 🗓️ What to expect * Friendly, informal travel conversations * Trip ideas, tips, and shared experiences * Meet people you may want to travel with in the future * A low-pressure, welcoming environment This is a **community meetup** — not a tour, class, or sales event. *** ## 🙌 We’re looking for Chapter Organizers As London Travel Now grows, we’re looking for local **Chapter Organizers** — including here in London. Chapter Organizers help: * Host or co-host meetups (weekly or monthly) * Choose simple, accessible venues * Welcome attendees and help spark conversation * Create and organize trips for the community *Trip organizers travel free on the trips they run.*\* No prior experience required — just reliability and a friendly attitude. 👉 Interested in becoming a Chapter Organizer? Apply or learn more here: **[www.londontravelnow.com/apply](londontravelnow.com/apply)** *** ## ✨ Come along New faces are always welcome. Bring curiosity, a travel story, or just yourself. This community works best when members help make it welcoming — we hope you’ll be part of it.

Hello everyone! For our first dinner together, we’re keeping things low-key and casual. Take a look at the menu and let us know what you think we want this to be easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for everyone.

No-shows impact the entire group, so if someone repeatedly commits and doesn’t show more than once, we’ll have to remove you from future dinners to keep things fair and smooth for everyone. Looking forward to a great night and even better conversations 🍽️✨
