Tall Persons Meet up in a pub to talk, drink, eat and make new friends
Hello fellow tallies, **and by tallies we mean women over 5\`9 and men over 6\`2**. This is the one chance a month for us to meet up in person literally face to face in London.
We are moving back to our old central London meeting place at **The Marlborough Arms** for a few months.
**The Marlborough Arms is at 36 Torrington Pl, London WC1E 7LY**. It is
Just a few minutes from Goodge Street tube station and a 10 minute walk from Tottenham Court Road, Russell Square and Euston Square tube stations.
**The Tall Persons Club have been meeting in London on the last Friday of every month for over 30 years** so there tends to be more people there than just who is on this Meetup group.
Come and experience the back straightening joy of standing alongside people who are taller than you and learn a whole new body posture, that accompanies that - cheaper than a Chiropractor!
You are welcome to bring a non tall partner or friend, but one of you MUST be tall! **PLEASE NOTE:** this is a tall persons meet up where we tallies get a chance to talk to other tallies so there is a **minimum height requirement of 6\`2 for men and 5\`9 for women**.
The venue is a Greene King managed pub with their own range of beers, gins (!) and spirits. Classic pub grub is available. We're happy to report that the staff there are friendly and looking forward to being looked down on - in the physical sense, not the attitudinal one.
When you get to the pub, we have an area reserved right at the back of the back of the pub on the left hand side, When you get to the back room room you should see us there easily enough but if not just come in to the room where you should find either Mike, Simon, Neal, Sharran, Rory (we will have name stickers on) and we will introduce you around. If all else fails look for a 3ft wooden Giraffe called Jerry who will be sitting on on of our tables.
Everyone is nervous the first time but we are a really friendly eclectic bunch, and we really look forward to meeting you! If in doubt to where we are then just please just ask the bar staff and they will point you in the right direction.
If you have any questions, please email us at

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
If you crave depth and genuine connection, join a walking think tank of curious people, topics spark meaningful conversations, and you leave inspired.
## Details
[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
**HOW IT WORKS**
**Step 1: Bring a topic**
Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
**Step 2: Circle up & share**
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
**Step 3: Walk, talk & float**
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
**Step 4: Feel more alive**
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started โ but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.
*For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)*
**HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC**
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:
* "What are you passionate about right now?"
* "What makes a good friend?"
* "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
* "How do you want to be remembered?"
* "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"
Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
**WHAT TO EXPECT**
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.*
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
**FAQ**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
* We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
* Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome โ please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**LOGISTICS**
* If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
* Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details.
* If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. ๐ค ๐
**IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...**
[The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.
* This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).
Apr 25 Just Play Mahjong Club(Chinese, American Styles &Japanese Riichi)
### ๐
EVENT DETAILS
๐ **Where:** Aldgate Tower (just outside Aldgate East Station, Exit 1)
๐ **Who:** Players who already know how to play with scores (not suitable for beginners)
โ **Included:** Instructur help, free tea, coffee, and unbeatable vibes
## ๐ WANT TO PLAY MAHJONG REGULARLY?
Mahjong is still a niche board game in London โ and since it needs **4 players**, it can be hard to organise regular games with just your own friends or family.
In many parts of Asia, **Mahjong parlours** bring people together to play. While weโre **not** running a commercial Mahjong club, we *are* here to build a **community**.
Many of our players started as complete beginners in our workshops โ and now theyโre **hooked**! Thatโs why we created our **๐๏ธ Just Play tickets**.
### ๐ DIFFERENT MAHJONG STYLES WELCOME
### ๐ญ๐ฐ Hong Kong Style (Main Style)
Our main style is **Hong Kong Mahjong**, with a **3 fan minimum to win**.If you know how to play other Chinese styles like **Taiwanese**, **Sichuan**, or **British Mahjong**, youโre still welcome! Weโll provide **scoring cards** to help you adapt.
โ ๏ธ However, these tables are **not suitable for beginners**. If you havenโt yet graduated from Level 1 or Level 2 of our workshops, or if you donโt know how to score, please join our learner workshops first to build confidence.
### ๐ฏ๐ต Japanese Riichi (Growing Community)
Riichi Mahjong is **new to our community**, but we love its fast pace and strategic complexity!If you already know how to play Riichi โ \*\*amazing! Please join us.\*\*If you play Chinese Mahjong and want to try Riichi, one of our instructors or friendly regulars might help, but we **canโt guarantee full teaching support yet**. You're welcome to learn by playing alongside others.
### ๐บ๐ธ American Mahjong (New Community in 2026)
Weโre excited to add **American Mahjong** to our offerings. Itโs quite different from Chinese Mahjong, so weโll run newbie workshops and regular Just Play sessions from 2026. **Note**: Just Play bookings require solid prior knowledge of American rules. However, we encourage crossโstyle learning, so if you already know one style of Mahjong, learn another with us, so you can play at any table.
## ๐ท OUR BEST PRICE PROMISE
Weโre doing our best to keep **Just Play tickets affordable** for a 2-hour session โ thatโs our **best price promise**. ๐
Unlike clubs that charge entry or venues that require a minimum spend, our ticket price covers only whatโs needed: venue, staff, admin cost.
And yes โ with a booked ticket, **YOU ARE GUARNATEED A SEAT AT THE TABLE**, and we also provide **free tea, coffee**, and the occasional **festive treat**. โ๐ช
We're not a charity, but we are **deeply committed** to creating a welcoming Mahjong community. ๐ Your support helps us keep the tiles clicking, and we love seeing familiar faces return week after week!
## ๐ฑ JOIN OUR MAHJONG WHATSAPP COMMUNITY
Stay connected with fellow players in our friendly WhatsApp group โ a space to ask questions, get updates on upcoming events, and even arrange private games outside of our Saturday sessions. It's the easiest way to stay in the loop and grow your Mahjong circle!
[LINK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IQXv3nGfbeMCfvI6HsGjfZ "https://chat.whatsapp.com/IQXv3nGfbeMCfvI6HsGjfZ")
**Important Notes**
1. Each attendee must be registered to our building in addition to the meetup ticketing. If you book two tickets, we will need both individualsโ full names and email addresses for registration.
2. On **the same week**, you will receive an email from "Aldgate Tower" with your **building entry invitation**. This email includes a **unique visitor QR code**, which youโll need to scan at the ground floor speed gates. Then, head straight up to the **6th floor**, where weโll be ready to welcome you.
3. Please check your **spam or junk folder** if you donโt see the email. Still nothing? Send us a message / whatsapp us on +44 7423 755734 , and weโll assist you promptly.
