Calendar

Social Groups Calendar

As central London’s oldest LGBT organisation, we run or host a number of events and groups each week at our King's Cross office in 86 Caledonian Road, N19DN. The calendar below lists London Friend's groups and other organisations who hold open meetings in our building. If you have any questions about the groups please email office@londonfriend.org.uk. For external groups, please contact the other organisations directly.

Please note that due to other activities and services in the building it is not possible to admit people earlier than the start time of the groups. Please aim to arrive during the group opening times rather than coming early. Please also note that due to huge demand, some groups won't be able to grant you access, if you arrive half an hour after the group has started.

Some of our Antidote drug & alcohol services occur at external locations: for a list of all our Antidote clinics please click here.
