SOLD OUT • PILOT THOUGHT EXPERIMENT WRITING WORKSHOP: cultivate curiosity :-)
**This event is full! [Here's the next one](https://www.meetup.com/thought-experiments-in-pubs/events/314193821).**
A special event to share the creative practice of writing thought experiments.
**In a nutshell, writing thought experiments creates opportunities to:**
* investigate ideas (old and new)
* work your imagination
* write creatively and playfully
* produce compelling conversation starters that you can share with friends and strangers to provoke great discussions
Over the past 3 years, I've written over 200 thought experiments and learned a lot along the way. [Here's a bit more about why I enjoy the practice.](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/p/writing-thought-experiments)
**In this workshop,** I'll share my process and together we'll create new thought experiments by:
* Identifying areas of interest
* Gathering ingredients for thought experiments
* Imagining scenarios
* Constructing narratives
* Generating relevant, thought provoking questions
* Participating in a round of small group discussions - you can volunteer your new thought experiment, or if you'd rather, you can pick one out of the hat.
**By the end of the evening** **we'll have**
* had some thought provoking conversations
* become familiar with a new method for creative thinking
* written our own original material for future group discussions :-)
Although we’ll be learning a new technique we'll also be aiming to have **an enjoyable evening, with good humour and fun**. This will be less like school and more like a fun TEiP night out with an additional creative twist.
**Who should come:**
Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts, it is about thinking creatively together and learning new ways to develop and communicate ideas.
**Tickets**
Space is limited to 15-20 people and tickets are £15.
I'd like to make this event accessible, so if cost is a barrier, please send me a DM.
**Where we'll meet:**
The Fitzroy Tavern in Fitzrovia. The nearest Tube stations are Goodge Street and Tottenham Court Road. We'll be upstairs in the Private Dining Room.
Looking forward to meeting & talking with you!

Highgate Highlights Walk 1: Historic Landmarks, Hidden Gems & Classic Pubs
Join us for the first in a series of walks exploring the rich history, architecture, and character of Highgate—featuring over 100 points of interest and a selection of its many historic pubs.
Starting from Archway Station, we’ll make our way up Highgate Hill, passing notable landmarks including the Whittington Stone and St Joseph’s Church. After a short detour via Hornsey Lane and Archway Bridge, we’ll arrive at Lauderdale House and the beautiful Waterlow Park.
Dating back to around 1580, Lauderdale House was once owned by Sir Sydney Waterlow, who generously gifted the house and its 29 acres of gardens to the public. We’ll take time to stroll through the park and enjoy its scenery.
Returning to Highgate Hill, we’ll encounter Cromwell House, a Grade I listed 17th-century building. Its remarkable oak staircase—adorned with carved Stuart-era military figures atop each newel post—is considered of national importance.
As we continue, we’ll pass a variety of elegant 17th- and 18th-century homes and learn about Highgate’s fascinating past—including its role as the site of Europe’s first cable-car system.
The walk also takes in traditional shopfronts and canopies, historic pubs, and the former police station and gaol. We’ll pause for refreshments at the Flask before continuing to explore more points of interest nearby.
We’ll then head down Southwood Lane, finishing the walk at the Woodman, conveniently located near Highgate tube station.
A detailed map and full list of points of interest can be found here:
[Visit Highgate | A visitor's guide](https://visithighgate.com/)
As this is a large and feature-rich area, Walk 1 will cover as much as we can, with future walks planned to explore additional highlights—and more pubs!
**Please note:** Participation is at your own risk.

🥾 **Hike Description**
This is Outdooraholics’ most popular hike, a dramatic and exhilarating journey across the chalk cliffs of Sussex that we have been leading for over 12 years. The **Seven Sisters** are a spectacular series of gleaming white chalk cliffs formed at the end of the last Ice Age by glacial meltwater. Erosion has since created an “eighth sister,” and today the cliffs stand as one of England’s most iconic landscapes.
We begin in the coastal town of **Seaford**, home to a Napoleonic-era **Martello Tower** built in 1810 as part of a chain of 103 coastal defences against French invasion. From here, the trail climbs onto the cliff tops, where for much of the day we walk high above the sea, treated to endless coastal views and fresh sea air.
Our route follows the **South Downs Way**, passing through **Birling Gap** and past the striking **Belle Tout Lighthouse**, famously moved 17 metres inland in 1999 to save it from falling into the sea. The final highlight is **Beachy Head**, a dramatic beauty spot with sheer chalk cliffs dropping into the sea below.
We finish in **Eastbourne**, statistically England’s sunniest town, where we celebrate our coastal adventure with refreshments in a local pub.

**Cliffs – danger**
There are sheer drops off the cliffs and some of these soft chalk cliffs are crumbling at the edges with chunks regularly falling and no fencing in place. Please keep at least 3 metres away from the edges. If you fall, or the ground at the edge of the cliff collapses it will almost certainly be fatal.
