What we’re about

Welcome to Urban Encounters, a curated community for London-based professionals in their 30s and 40s who value depth, culture, and meaningful connection.

More than pub-crawl, boardgames or small talks. This is a space for people who appreciate culture, deep conversation and the beauty of living life to the full and nurturing meaningful connections.

This is a space for thoughtful, worldly individuals who enjoy:

✨ Art, galleries & museum evenings
✨ Coffee tastings & artisan cafés
✨ Wine bars & culinary experiences
✨ Book circles, learning & self-development
✨ Active city explorations
✨ Volunteering & community giving
✨ Travel, culture & worldview conversations
✨ Building mature, inspiring connections

Our events are small and intentional (maximum 10 people), designed to foster real conversation and trust, not surface-level mingling.

If you’re a culturally curious professional with a growth mindset who values growth, connection, and sophisticated yet relaxed experiences, you’ll feel at home here.

Join us, and let’s build something exceptional.

# 📏 Group Rules

  1. Curiosity, warmth and respect: no judgement, drama, or rudeness.
  2. Small groups = high trust: RSVP only if you intend to come.
  3. This space is for meaningful conversation: not mass socials.
  4. Alcohol-light culture: we focus on experience, not drinking.
  5. Inclusive and open-minded: all backgrounds and perspectives welcome.
  6. Not a dating group: connections grow organically and maturely.
  7. Quality participation: everyone contributes to the atmosphere, curiosity and openness are valued.
