London Events

This is a quick link to see our planned events over the next few months

We now run our North London (2nd Monday) and Bookworms (4th Wednesday) as a hybrid meeting (in-person and online); SE London (1st Monday) and SW London (2nd Tuesday) are now in-person only. We have introduced an online only London Zoom (1st Wednesday or 1st Thursday alternating) for those who cannot easily reach the three regular locations.

All four of our "local meetings" (N, SE, SW & Zoom) have a similar agenda: (1) a member of the group as the Keynote Speaker for 30+ minutes; (2) Image Sharing - five images from 12 - 15 participants; (3) Discussion of events in the Region over the next two months: and (4) Discussion of future activities for the group.

Our photo-walks programme (Street (2nd Saturday) and Midweek Explorers (3rd week)) is back to normal with about 16 participants plus leaders on each. We have resumed our Urban field trips and have two new London Region Micro-Group field trips:- Landscape; and Wildlife & Nature.

(Our London Naturally photowalks have been paused since February 2022.)
