🔗 On your phone and can’t click? Click the link in the comments :)
F\*ck the Small Talk has travelled the world across Berlin, Mexico City, Melbourne, Lisbon, Medellin, Vienna, and now back to London for its 3rd year in a row! 😎
**📦 WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?**
FTST is a **one-of-a-kind social experience** where strangers come together for an afternoon of meaningful, fun, and deep conversation. It’s also a different & cool way of meeting new people by getting a bit out of your comfort zone and skipping the small talk!
Join us for **games**, **talks**, and **connections** with **friends you haven’t met yet**. Join if you get annoyed after being asked what you do, where you are from, and how long you've been in London every single time you meet someone. If you feel that there are better questions in life, this is the place for you. 🙌
**📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?**
We start with a short & sweet intro talk followed by a few light-hearted group games to warm up. After that, we split you up into small groups and start with the conversation rounds (with 3-4 people). We'll have awesome question cards that will guide the flow of the conversation. You’ll never have to speak in public if you don’t want to.
**📣 NOTE**: We won't validate your payment unless you've been accepted! (which you most likely will ❤️)
**🕹 HOW TO JOIN?**
**[Take 1 minute to sign up 👈](https://luma.com/london4ftst)**

⏰ 3 hours of facilitated and curated activities
🍎 Light snacks to keep the energy going (only if outdoors)

**💛 WHAT THEY SAY**
🗣 “This is the kind of activity humanity needs every weekend. Thank you for all.” - Sonya
🗣 “F\*ck the Small Talk changes the narrative from "Where are you from?" to "When was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?" and I think that's beautiful.” - Monika
🗣 “I loved F\*ck the small talk, I was a little bit nervous at first but they are pros at making you feel comfortable with the rest of the group, the activities are really fun and I enjoyed every second (consider that the one who's saying this is very, very shy). Give it a try!” - Brenda
🗣 “Lively, interesting, introspective, completely open, and no judgment. Everyone that joined was ready for great conversation and helped with different perspectives. So much fun! I can't wait for the next one! “ - Yaz

🤓 FAQ
**• Can I come alone?**
Of course, in fact, we encourage it!
**• Can I be late?**
Please don't! "Doors" open at 11:45am and we start at exactly 12:00pm! Late arrivals will disrupt the floooooooow.
**• I signed up but never got an invite. Why?**
We usually get a high volume of sign-ups yet we like to keep it cozy & only invite around 25 people. We believe this is a good number to ensure an awesome experience, and we’ve learned that it’s easier to build connections with smaller groups! Please try again next time if do not receive an invite - no hard feelings 💛
**• Why do you charge?**
We value our time and put a lot of love, planning, and effort into creating & designing these experiences. 💛 This is our project/business and what we give to the world and we think everything should be a fair exchange! 🎈 However, money should never be the reason for people not to attend. If you can’t afford it simply get in touch with us :)
**• I'm digging this! Can I get involved somehow?**
Sure thing, send us a message!
**• Can I bring my pet (llama)?**
100% yes (depends on the venue, ask us!)

LondonJamSessions x TAM MIC DROP (Chord Flow) #34
I am proud to announce that we having our jam at the Temple Of Art & Music in Elephant & Castle!!
Chord Flow:
A structured improvisation session where players explore a shared chord progression and key, creating music organically in the moment.
Lineup (on stage together):
• 2 guitarists
• 1 bass
• 1 drummer
• 1–2 singers
• 1 additional instrument (sax, trumpet, percussion, etc.)
How It Works:
1. A simple chord progression and its key are written on a whiteboard opposite the stage.
2. The group has 5 minutes on stage to explore the progression together.
3. Tempo, time signature, style, and chord changes are left open — the music’s direction is determined by the group.
4. When the timer starts, the music begins. Musicians respond to each other in real time, building the flow organically.
5. No planning or discussion — focus on listening, reacting, and creating a shared musical experience.
6. After 5 minutes, the group rotates and a new set of musicians begin.
The Temple Of Art and Music is a live music venue and bar in Elephant & Castle so I encourage anyone attending to bring friends as it will be great fun for them even if they are not playing.
The venue has a PA system, drum kit, mics and guitar/bass amps.
There is no guarantee that there will be cymbals or drum accessories with the drum kit at the venue. Drummers please being your own if you can.
Like all our other jams it will be a chance to jam with other musicians playing the music that you love in a gentle environment with no judgement and no pressure. This jam also uniquely gives the opportunity to play in front of a crowd!
Tickets are **£10 online** message us let us know what instrument you play and we will confirm if there is space and send you the Eventbrite link for the jam.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information about this jam and London Jam Sessions.
At London Jam Sessions we have an active community on WhatsApp where we all discuss the upcoming jams and future events. Everyone in the community is encouraged to ask questions and bring forward new ideas. Dm me and I can add you to our Whatsapp group.

❤️🎬 THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD
*✨The Worst Person in the World is a wistful and subversive romantic drama about the quest for love and meaning in contemporary Oslo.***
👋 **Hey everyone**, we’re watching a film that revolves around Julie (a dazzling star-making central performance from **Renate Reinsve**), a vibrant and impulsive young woman who, on the verge of turning thirty, is faced with **a series of drastic choices** that force her to **continually reinvent** and pursue new perspectives on her life…
Over the course of several years, Julie navigates **multiple love affairs,** **existential uncertainty** and career dissatisfaction as she slowly starts deciding what she wants to do, who she wants to be with, and ultimately who she wants to become. [Trailer](https://youtu.be/w_cV1q02cyE)
Co-starring Trier regular **Anders Danielsen** Lie and **Herbert Nordrum** as the men pivoting around Julie’s magnetic presence.
**This is as much a formally playful character study as it is a poignant and perceptive observation of quarter-life angst. It’s a wry, life-affirming coming of age story.**
**There will be a group quiz and a mystery prize! See you guys at the meet up**
**Ray**

**One quick note on how the community works**
**L Community is member-funded.**
The standard contribution is **£13 per month** to cover the platform, events, moderation, and safeguarding.

Support can be changed or cancelled at any time.

**What this is**
A relaxed Sunday afternoon book club for lesbian and bisexual women, meeting in person.
This is our first event and we will discuss which book we plan to read. It’s low-pressure, calm, and easy to settle into the event.
Women usually range from their 20s through to their 60s. Most sessions are a genuine mix of new faces and returning women, so you won’t be the only person coming for the first time.
Most people come on their own. That’s normal here, and we make sure you don’t feel it. Hosts introduce people, keep things flowing, and make the space feel easy rather than awkward.
If you’re feeling nervous, you won’t be the only one. Many women feel that way before their first book club and end up staying longer than they expected.
**Important**
This is a female-only lesbian space.
That boundary is clear and upheld at events.
If that doesn’t work for you, this won’t be the right event.
**How to attend**
You must register in advance to attend.
Register here: [www.thelcommunity.com/book-club/](https://thelcommunity.com/book-club/)
**Arriving and support**
The table booking is under the name Jenny. If you’re nervous, arriving alone, can’t find us, or have any difficulty at all, you can message at any point – days before, on the day, or during the event.
If it helps, we can have someone come outside to meet you.
**WhatsApp Jenny**
WhatsApp only (calls or messages): **+44 7591 386019**
Normal calls or texts will not go through on this number.
**Staying connected**
Registering for an event is separate from joining the wider community.

In this live and in-person seminar you will have an opportunity to explore how you could possibly improve YOUR self-confidence.

Shut Up and Write! SUNDAY at London/Waterstones Piccadilly
Join us at the top of the biggest bookshop in Europe to work in company on your own writing, be it a book, blog, screenplay, dissertation, poem, song, coursework, memoir, play, journal, travel writing, work stuff or anything else. Newcomers always welcome. No one will see what you're writing or give you unsolicited advice.
Now that our regular Saturday events are filling all the seats we're adding some Sundays when we're able to - check Meetup for dates. Same format but an hour later.
WHERE? FIFTH FLOOR CAFÉ, Floor 5, Waterstones, 203-206 Piccadilly, W1J 9LE
TIMINGS:-
12.00 - Shop and café open
12:30 - Host will be there. Say hello, especially if you’re new.

12:45 - Timer starts: write for 45 minutes
13:30 – Break, chat to your neighbours if you like

Bring whatever you need to be able to write. It’s a café, there’s some noise so earbuds/headphones/earplugs are handy. There’s very few mains sockets so charged-up laptops are a good idea too.
And please remember everybody, thank our venue by buying a drink or food, and don’t consume anything from outside while you're here.
We’re looking forward to writing with you, your hosts, Sarah, Nick, Laura, Anna, Solitaire and John
Small Sunday Walk in Regent’s Park & Coffee (Relaxed, Friendly Group)
Hi,
I’m putting together a small, relaxed Sunday walk in Regent’s Park for people who enjoy good conversation and a calm, friendly atmosphere.
The idea is simple, a gentle walk, easy conversation, and for anyone who feels like it, a coffee afterwards.
This isn’t a loud or fast-paced meetup, it’s for people who prefer a more natural way of meeting others, without pressure or awkwardness.
I’m keeping the group small on purpose so it stays easy to talk and doesn’t feel overwhelming.
Who tends to enjoy this:
• People who like real, easy conversation
• Those who prefer calm environments over busy venues
• Anyone who enjoys walks, coffee, and good company
The vibe:
• Friendly and welcoming
• No pressure, no expectations
• Just a good group and see how it flows
Plan:
• Meet outside Baker Street station
• Short introductions
• Walk into Regent’s Park together
• Optional coffee afterwards
Group size: I’ll be keeping this to a smaller group so it stays relaxed and comfortable.
If this sounds like your kind of thing, feel free to join.

Girls coffee and catch up meetup
Hello lovely girls 💛
We’re hosting another girls-only meetup. This meetup is 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?
What makes you happy?
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.

Pop-up Book Club 3: The Ballad of The Sad Café, by Carson McCullers
Let’s meet and share our thoughts about Carson McCullers’ novella, The Ballad of The Sad Café.
In-Person Event: The Answers to Depression & Anxiety
This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them.
Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance".
Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you.
The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life.
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
