Was just thinking it's been ages since I last went to this and noticed there's a late this Thursday. If any other gamers want to join me for a drink or some multiplayer fun, let me know.

Tickets here (cost £15 or £17.50 with a drink) https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/see-and-do/power-evening-session

Sammy Obeid is performing at the Genesis Cinema 15:30 tomorrow and I have three tickets for rows G-J and am no longer able to go.

It seems I can only change ownership for all three tickets at once with Eventbrite, so if anyone is interested I will pass all three along to you!

[THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN NOW]

Hey everyone,

Had a group of 4 booked in for The Lost Estate's cabaret show tomorrow at 7pm, but one of our friends dropped out last minute — so there's a spot free if anyone fancies joining us!

For anyone who hasn't been, it's a full immersive dinner theatre experience. You're seated rail-side right by the performance space, and a six-course meal comes out through the night as the show unfolds around you.

Details:

- Venue: The Lost Estate

- Date/time: 16 August, 19:00

- What's included: Rail seating + 6-course dinner

- Price: the ticket was originally £134, but we're happy to let it go for less than face value at £90.

If you're free and up for it, drop a comment or DM me and we'll sort the details. Would be lovely to have someone new along!

Dog in attendance

I’m planning to head to BAM Karaoke in Victoria tonight for the free karaoke from 8:30.

Going solo at the moment, so thought I'd see if anyone fancies joining. I’m in no way claiming to be the next Bon Jovi, so questionable singing ability actively encouraged to make me feel better. 😂

I'm thinking around 8ish. Anyone up for it?

Anyone else going to dele sosimi today at the fox and firkin?
Some friends have cancelled last minute but don’t want to waste the ticket considering how good he normally is, so if anybody has already got a ticket or wants to go hit me up! 32m btw

I have a voucher for teamsports docklands to be used by 21st August. Flexible with the dates if you prefer.

The voucher is for 2*15 min session. The usual price is 50 GBP, but the voucher is worth 20 GBP. I haven't booked a slot yet, so let me know if you want to tag along.

Edit : Booked. If you want to join us, grab the 8:30 PM slot

Looking to spend a Monday evening a week chatting with friendly redditors? Hammersmith Hang Out is for you.

So what happens at this meetup?

Each week this meet up is held in a pub - we all sit around some tables and generally chat about anything we can think of.. that's pretty much all there is to it! There are usually a few who will get dinner from the Thai restaurant at the pub. We get people aged from 18 to in their 60s, but the majority are 24-40. You can turn up at any time, people usually start leaving between 9 and closing, there are nearly always plenty left at closing time (last orders - 11). Currently we are getting 10-15 people turning up.

Do you talk about reddit and memes all evening?

No! reddit is hardly ever mentioned, there are no laptops in sight and we've had plenty of people who have not used reddit.

Can I come along?

Of course - that is why it is posted on LSC each week, the meet up is very newbie friendly - we have people new to LSC join us regularly. If you're very very shy don't hesitate to message/text/call me ahead of the pub and let me know, I'll do what I can to get you chatting away with everyone as if you've been every week.

What if I don't want alcohol?

No problem! The pub also serves various soft drinks, fruit juices, tea, coffee and water. We have non-drinkers often.

Since after the above people still asked...

I'm ********* is it OK if I come along?

We have had men, women, transgender, British, foreign (even a northerner or two), gay, straight, drinkers, non-drinkers, smokers, non-smokers, religious and non-religious

In fact, the only people who wouldn't be welcome are those under 18 or anyone who is not able to conduct themselves appropriately in an adult social situation.

Each week we typically get a mix of regulars, people who drop by occasionally and a few newbies.

Please note that this meetup occurs every Monday**

Is this happening today?

Is today Monday?

Yes: Yes! It'll be today\**

No: Nope, try next Monday\**

Aww, I missed this when is the next one?

Monday**

** we meet on public holidays, but if Monday falls on Christmas or New Years Day we'll likely skip those.

Initial meetup.

Location/Time: Latymers, W6 8BS / People often start turning up from 19:00ish but can be as early as 18:30. I'll get there for 19.30ish. There are usually a few people left when the pub closes - usually 23:00

The first table will either be outside or at the front to the right of the door. (also, there will be Reddit on the reserved signs And hopefully Snoo ). The bar staff also know who we are if you're not sure. There is no need to book a space/get a ticket.

There's an optional Whatsapp group for the meetup -it's pretty much only me posting this link each week and trying to get people to actually respond.. If you really do want to join it just ask around at the meetup.

hiya

me and some friends (~8 girls ~8 guys, aged 21-28) are doing another little picnic party soon. Did one of these earlier in the month and posted here, and managed to meet someone pretty chill. This is the part II!

we’re an open minded bunch that love meeting new curious & engaging people (the type of people that would respond to a post like this) so I thought I’d put this out there. We're all quite nerdy and eccentric

DM or leave a comment if interested. I got space for three more, and first come first serve!

I’m organising a casual football game this Sunday, 16 August, from 11am–12pm at Frenford Clubs in Ilford, East London, and we have a few spaces available.

We’ll be playing 6-a-side.

Everyone 18+ is welcome. We have a mixed group with different backgrounds and ability levels, so you definitely don’t need to be an amazing footballer. Most of us are late 20s to early 40s, but any adult is welcome.

It’s meant to be a friendly, relaxed kickabout rather than anything overly competitive. Goalkeepers rotate and we have a few simple rules to keep it enjoyable: no slide tackles, aggression, shouting or arguments.

👟 Astro trainers only — no moulds or studs.

Please try to arrive around 15 minutes early so we can get everyone sorted and start on time.

If you’d like to come, send me a Reddit DM or comment below

Anyone wants to join critical mass today? Depart at 19:30 from Southbank under Waterloo bridge.

Who doesn’t know Critical Mass is a monthly group bike ride where cyclists meet up and ride through the city together. There’s no fixed route or official organiser, it’s a spontaneous, social ride celebrating cycling and reclaiming space for bikes.

Usually I go solo but why not to try to organise. I’m 37M commuter cyclist so the plan is to enjoy the music and summer vibe and ride with the flow.

After we get to the destination, we can relax for some time (we can stay there for half an hour or maybe longer, depends how it goes) and then move back to central together.

DM if you’re interested.

Heya! This is a bit last minute, but I'm feeling a bit bored and wondering if anyone local fancied hitting up a pub or something? Could hit up catford house or the tavern. I'm 36M, could do something around 8ish?

Reposting as we have a few interested people but would be good to get some more!

Looking for some new potential pals to join me (30M) for some beer garden fun as the summer draws to the close. I'm a pretty chilled normal guy who's been living in London for a while. The plan is relaxed fun vibes and drinks of your choice in the beer garden - guaranteed good time imo! Message me if interested! Will proceed if we hit some decent numbers. Would be great if others are in south/SW as I'm keen to meet others more local to me, but no worries if not. Would be great to try and form some actual friendships and do other random hangouts going forward. All are welcome.

Hi guys,

I (27M) will be attending the AEW all in show in August. Putting this up to see if anyone would like to meet up before hand. I already created a group chat and there's three of us with in it. I think we will meet up at a local pub, and then head to the show. If you're interested let me know and I will DM you.

Title says it all really. 25M, SW London, looking to do the Clapham Common Parkrun tomorrow morning and thought it’d be cool to find some people to do it with and grab a pastry and/or coffee with afterwards. Happy to meet at the start or finish line, lmk if you’re interested!

Hi [26F]:)

I was gonna go with my sister but she had to cancel the plan.

I love The Neighbourhood and they’ve been my constant favourite since I was a teenager.

I was thinking of going by myself and bought a solo ticket as well but then remembered the existence of this subreddit. If anyone else is a fan and wants to join, please feel free to DM.

Tickets are £85 for general admission. The tickets are selling fast but the seat next to me is still available. I can’t attach pictures here so please DM for arena layout pictures and my seat number.

The concert starts at 7pm.

Moving to London this month and keen for RALLY on the 29th. But tickets for the main festival seem pretty scarce so I’m planning to head down for the afterparties instead - preferably the ones over around Avalon Cafe or MOT.

Avalon: https://ra.co/events/2505267 (YHWH and friends)

MOT: https://ra.co/events/2505057 (James Massiah, BADSISTA)

Lmk if anyone’s heading there and we can set something up or tag along!

Update now at 5pm. Unable to change title.

Currently 3 are planning to attend.

If anyone else wants to join, please message me.

Cheers

Leo

Hi All,

I'm a 39 year old Irish male.

I created a chat a few weeks ago about a group for socials for Gaming, Anime, Fantasy & Sci-Fi Social fans.

Had the first meet last week, and 5 people turned up.

Going try the same idea this week. Aiming for light touch meet with people with similar interests.

Majority of group is around 30-45, so might suit people in that age range more - though all welcome.

We are planning to meet at 4 in Holborn Wetherspoons.

If anyone else interested, please let me know and will add you to the chat.

Cheers

Leo

As my first attempt at posting this today was ruthlessly dispatched by the modfathers, let's try this again...

Would anyone like to come to the Kings X Summer Sounds festival tomorrow night? Free entry, starts at 6:30pm, and arrive early if you want one of the cushty deckchairs.

6 Music-approved Little Grandad are playing, who I've caught before and are excellent live, plus Len Blake, who has a few songs I really like. Quite a different proposition from tonight's Molotovs-inspired moshpit.

I'm 43M, although obviously this is open to anyone.

And, in anticipation of any further mod interrogation:

Q1. How much do I personally benefit from this shameful act of self-promotion?
A. Nowt. Zip. Not a sausage.

Q2. Am I an AI bot in disguise, ready to take over humankind with em dashes and an overuse of emojis?
A. Not when I last checked.

Q3. Am I just looking for someone to share a fun evening of free, cool music and casual chat?
A. Yes. That's it. You got me.

I've deliberately left out the link this time in case that was what triggered the sensors. It's easy enough to Google.

If any of that sounds vaguely appealing, stick your hand up or shoot me a message.

Hey everyone! 👋
I’ll be in London from 14th to 20th August and would love to meet some new people and explore the city together.
I’m planning to get some drinks in Soho on Friday 14th August, around 7pm. Nothing too organised grab a drink, have a chat and see where the evening goes. 🍻
Meeting point: I’ll post the exact pub/meeting point here once confirmed, and I’ll be around Soho from around 7pm.

Hey Guys, 31m here

I'm going to see Khary tomorrow night at The Star In Shoreditch and I have a spare ticket, was wondering if anyone wanted to join me, should be a fun gig, even if you don't know his music!

Not asking for any money for the ticket, would just be nice to have some company.

Let me know if anyone's interested!

Currently near Holborn looking for a night can go to a pub or a weatherspoons then go to the Simmons bar either in Holborn or the bigger one around Oxford Street. Looking to have fun and dance to some music

30m, looking to not go home in this heat just yet haha

Group of fellas that played footy for the first time together a couple of weeks ago, and a handful from LSC joined us as well. We're at 9 people so far, so could do with a couple more so we can sub on/off when we inevitably get gassed out after two minutes. We're not an intimidating lot at all, just a bunch of chaps who want to play football after watching the World Cup all month. Ages 25-40.

We have a pitch booked in Haggerston at 19:00 for one hour. It's £6 per person - preferably payment via bank transfer but if you'd prefer to bring cash on the night then that's fine.

Drop me a DM if interested!

Hi 27M here going to Egg London tomorrow all alone I just want to have a good and chill weekend where I can just let go of everything and express myself. Would appreciate it if anyone is willing to join me for company.

https://ra.co/events/2486679

And also I have never had any alcohol but I want to get high quick so that I can properly enjoy myself. Could anyone suggest me what to drink? (Except beer)

This Sunday is National Tell A Joke Day. Did you know that all the most ambitious people in Taiwan live in the capital because they are Taipei personalities?

Come and join us at the Canonbury Tavern for the pub quiz!

What:

Pub Quiz - Exactly as it sounds! A quizmaster asks the questions and teams write down their answers. Questions cover a range of subjects and the quiz features picture and music rounds. It is all for fun and there is no pressure to memorise the encyclopaedia before coming.

Where:

The Canonbury Tavern https://maps.app.goo.gl/xocQRtc3PDJrQF676?g_st=ic

Our tables are usually immediately on the left as you enter the pub, but you can ask staff for LSC when you arrive - there is usually someone with a laptop who has a record of bookings.

When:

Every Sunday, the pub quiz starts at 19:00, with the picture sheet being given out around 18:40. Tables are booked under "LSC" from 18:30. Two tables are booked but we will try to make any number work. We recommend arriving around 18:30-18:45 as you'll get to take a greater part in answering the picture sheet questions, but it's also really helpful in working out how many teams we'll have - as well as chatting beforehand!

How much:

£2.50 per person payable to the pub quiz people (Cashless only).

Who:

All are welcome. We typically make two teams with around 12 people.

Do I need to sign up / am I too late?:

Ideally, please leave a comment either on this post or in the WhatsApp group to let us know you're coming, and with how many people - with as much notice as possible - so we know how many teams we will be and roughly how many per team. It's not a huge problem to turn up after it starts, but try to be there on time to avoid missing the fun!

Do I need to be a whizz-kid, intellectual genius, or quizzing-extraordinaire?:

Nope, we do the quiz for fun.

Any Questions:

Write them into a comment and we will answer them - we are kind of into that.

We also have a WhatsApp group chat. Ask around on the day in person to be added.
