L Community Nights โ Pre-Pride Summer Launch | 50+ Spots Gone
Launching on Friday 3rd July on the South Bank, the night before London Pride, it's a chance to meet new people before the weekend gets going.
**This is the launch event**
L Community Nights is our new monthly social for lesbian and bisexual women in London. This will be the first one.
We're taking over a dedicated area inside the Hall at the Big Belly. It's a fantastic venue with a great atmosphere and we'll have a dedicated area to ourselves for the evening.
**Tickets**
ยฃ12 early bird. ยฃ15 standard. Advance booking only.
Only 7 spots left.
Book your place: [thelcommunity.com/nights](https://thelcommunity.com/nights)
**You won't be standing around on your own**
Most women come on their own. There'll be hosts on the night who introduce people and keep things moving, so you won't be left wondering what to do.
We expect around 50 women to attend.
Women in our community range from their 20s to their 60s. A lot of them tell us they were nervous before their first one. You can arrive, get a drink, settle in, and just see how you feel.
**Important**
This is a female-only space for lesbian and bisexual women. That's the whole point of it and that boundary is upheld at every event. If that's not for you, this won't be the right night.
**Finding us**
The reservation is under the name Jenny. If you can't find us or feel unsure walking in, message on WhatsApp on +44 7591 386019 and someone will come out to meet you.
**Staying connected**
L Community is a free platform for lesbian and bisexual women, with a community timeline, member profiles, and a directory for housemates, services, and local recommendations.
Once you join the app, you can post on the community timeline to let others know you're coming to the event and introduce yourself before the night.

**How to find us**
When you arrive at the Royal George we go down into the basement and you will find us there. Just ask a staff member if you cannot find us!
Here is the location of the Royal George on google maps: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/HpkySsu2rEqUUub1A](https://maps.app.goo.gl/HpkySsu2rEqUUub1A)
* Food or drink at the pub is not included (please make at least one purchase - they have a good range of drinks and great food if you feel hungry)
**How are the lessons?**
The lesson is a General English lesson focused on speaking and error correction - every lesson we usually cover 3 different topics. This will encourage you to use new vocabulary and practise grammatical structures.
The group has a limit of 25 people but I usually accept people if you are on the waiting list. You will be divided into groups of 3-6 with others of a similar speaking level so you'll have plenty of opportunity to talk and ask questions to your qualified, native teacher Jon. The lesson takes place in the relaxed environment of the Royal George basement which is a pleasant pub, a two-minute walk from Tottenham Court Road tube station.
The lesson is ideal for pre-intermediate, intermediate and upper-intermediate students wishing to get to the next level.
If you have any questions about the English lesson then please call me or send me a message.
**Payment**
Payments can be made in cash or by card (free of charge) when you come to the class.
If it is your first time it is only ยฃ2!
After your first time it is ยฃ6 for a single class or you can buy a ticket that makes each class cheaper; 5 classes for ยฃ20, 10 classes for ยฃ25 (you can use these tickets whenever you like and do not need to come in a set period of time) or 20 classes for ยฃ40 which has a limited use to within a six-month period.

Pride Day Picnic โ If Youโre Not Going to Pride (Women Only)
**What this is**
A lot of women have said the main Pride event doesn't really feel like their thing anymore, so this is just a simpler alternative.
Itโs a group of women meeting in the park, having a drink, chatting properly, and spending a few hours outside.
Most women come on their own. Thatโs completely normal here and we make sure you donโt feel it.
Women usually range from their 20s through to their 60s. Itโs normally a mix of new and returning women, so you wonโt be the only new person there.
If youโre feeling nervous, thatโs very common. You can message beforehand or on the day and we can help you settle in.
**Where to find us**
Regentโs Park, Outer Circle (Baker Street side)
๐ 51.5279, -0.1540
**What to bring**
Bring whatever you want for a picnic. Most people bring a blanket and something to eat or drink. Cafรฉs are nearby if needed.
**Important**
This is a female-only lesbian space. That boundary is clear and upheld at events.
**How to attend**
You must register in advance to attend

L Community is member-funded.
The standard contribution is ยฃ13 per month and covers the platform, events, moderation, and safeguarding.
If ยฃ13 isnโt workable right now, you can opt out. Most people just come to a few things first and decide later.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it โseems good,โ and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, weโll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. Weโll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
Weโll cover:
* Why โit looks goodโ is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works โ and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, youโll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
