🌳🥁💃 Social at the Summer River Festival: Deep Chats, Chill Picnic & Music

Looking for something a little deeper than just “So… what do you do?” Come join us in one of London’s most iconic green spaces, Potters Fields Park, right by Tower Bridge, with unbeatable Thames views, lush lawns, and a creative, welcoming energy.

This is a casual hangout for those who value meaningful conversations, international friendships, and good vibes without the pressure of the party scene.
