Tate Modern: Photo Scavenger Hunt | London 20s and 30s
**On Sunday 1st February, we’re really excited to be heading back to the Tate Modern for our latest fast-paced, Photo Scavenger Hunt.**
Yep we'll be returning to London's most famous modern art Gallery for one of our most unique afternoons of social fun.
If you've not been to one of these before, our photo hunts are a unique mix of a fast-paced **Scavenger Hunt** and **Where’s Wally?,** set in one of the world’s most famous galleries.
We’ve curated a fresh selection of intriguing background characters, unusual objects and eye-catching snippets in the paintings across the gallery.
And your team’s mission is to **locate as many of them as you can** within the allotted time.
To help you find them, you’ll be armed with clues and photo hints, but they are designed to be easy to miss - so you’ll need to keep your wits about you and your eyes peeled.
And that’s not all - there’ll also be extra creative challenges along the way, giving your team the chance to bag valuable bonus points.
The team with the most points by the end of the night will be crowned the winners, with **some great prizes up for grabs.**
And once the hunt wraps up, we’ll head back to the pub to grab a drink, crown the winners and hand out the prizes.
We'll also then be keeping the fun going, by getting out our huge collection of board games for you to enjoy with your new friends!
It should be a great night but places are limited and so if you would like to join us for this, please RSVP as soon as possible!

Join us every Sunday evening in Isington for the London Language Exchange, where over 20 people gather each week to practice new languages, play some darts, share cultures, and make new friends.

All languages and levels are welcome, and we are inclusive of all ages, races, religions etc. Whether you're a polyglot, a beginner just starting with Duolingo Spanish, or you just want to come and socialise, you will be welcomed to our community of language learners and international friends.
**🙌 What to Expect:**
* **Language Practice:** Whether you’re fluent in Spanish, Italian, English, Arabic, Russian, Mandarin, or any other language, our hosts will help you connect with people who match your language interests.
* **Free Darts:** We have one darts booth reserved for our group which you can play on for free during our event!
* **Friendly Hosts:** Our hosts will greet you at the entrance, give you a label where you can write the language(s) you speak and the ones you’d like to learn or practice.
* **Inclusive Atmosphere:** We welcome all languages and levels, and make sure everyone feels comfortable—especially if you're coming alone! It’s a relaxed environment perfect for making new friends and practising languages at your own pace.
* **Socialising:** Coming alone or with friends, this is a great opportunity to meet new people in the city. Unlike some other meetup ‘groups’, we do not fill our events with fake members, and you can check how many people attend each week via our [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/babblelondon).
**👋 How does it work?**
* **Arrive!** No need to register, just come to our event any time between 7-9pm and our event host will welcome you. They will have an orange lanyard and will be sitting next to our sign.
* **Write your ‘Language Label’.** Here you can write your name, the languages you are learning, and the languages you can help others with.
* **Pay.** Our £1 event fee pays for our lovely event hosts and keeps the event going. Card only please.
* **Get talking!** With the help of our host you will be able to find other people attending the event with compatible language interests - we are all very friendly and the majority of our attendees come alone, so there’s no need to worry about getting involved!
**📌 Where are we?**
We’re normally located in the upstairs of Flight Club Islington 56 Upper St, London N1 0NY: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4noxd4tLWTkVHnqL8

Social Exploration @ The Wallace Collection -! A museum GEM! Make New Friends!
***
**🎨✨ \*\*Join Us for an Unforgettable Art Adventure at the Wallace Collection!\*\* 🖼️🎉**
Get ready for a spectacular day filled with culture, connection, and pure excitement! We’re hosting a vibrant social gathering to explore the magnificent \*\*Wallace Collection\*\* in London, and we want YOU to be part of it! 🏛️😄 This isn’t just a museum visit—it’s a chance to dive into a world of art, history, and great company! 🌟
**\*\*About the Wallace Collection\*\*:**

Girls coffee and catch up meetup -last meetup of the season
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.

Casual Boardgames - make friends, then beat them in games
Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations.
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that.
We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus.
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn.
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play.
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders…
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords…
IMPORTANT:
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for.
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
