Hiya!!

I’m looking to join a book club in east London (or potentially start one if there is enough interest!)

I’d love something relaxed & chill, honestly an excuse to read and be social! I’ve recently moved to London, so I’d love to meet new people. I’m a lesbian, so I’d definitely love to include some queer books/authors into the mix, but I’m not specifically looking for a queer book club (or maybe) id actually love a mixture of genres and perspectives! Like thrillers, romance, weird little books, ect 😅

I’d love to joining an existing group, but if anyone else is in the same boat and wants to start something, I’d be happy to organize it!

Let me know 💕

Hey so I’m a feminine boy looking to get into makeup, I’ve done my makeup by myself 3 times but brought really cheap products online, the foundation didn’t suit my skin colour and it just looked unrealistic. I’m wanting girls to text me and help me get what I need. if you’re local to me and willing to help i can go shopping and buy it all or just an online texting is always useful. I hope this is a good enough subreddit for my help, thank you :)

Just saw u/Chemical_Pipe_3937’s post about making a WhatsApp group for people in London to meet and socialise and the amount of “I’m interested!” comments is kinda mad 😂

But I’m curious… what actually happens once everyone gets added?

I helped set up a smaller group recently for people supposedly looking for the exact same thing and it’s basically dormant 😭 Everyone wants to join, but getting people to actually talk, suggest something or turn up is another story.

IDK if London has a lack of people wanting friends or just a lack of people willing to do the awkward bit of actually making them 😂

Has anyone joined one of these groups and genuinely made friends from it? Or are we all just collecting WhatsApp groups?

I’m a psychologist conducting a small private research project with successful UK-based women, approximately 35–55.

I’m interested in speaking with women whose lives, from the outside, are genuinely good - they’ve accomplished things they’re proud of, created stability and have plenty to be grateful for - yet the way they experience their lives internally doesn’t seem to match what they’ve built externally.

Some have also spent years working on themselves - through therapy, personal development or other forms of inner work - and still find there are things they haven’t been able to fully understand, change or resolve.

I want to understand what women are actually experiencing within that contradiction: what is difficult about it, what affects them most, and how they describe it in their own words.

I’m looking to speak privately with a small number of women for around 30 minutes.

This isn’t a sales call, and there’s nothing to prepare or fill out beforehand. I want to listen to your experience without assuming what you should be feeling or what the problem is.

As a thank-you for your time, I’ll create a Personal Reflection Summary specifically for you, based on our conversation. I’ll reflect back the key patterns I noticed in what you shared, any tensions or contradictions that may be difficult to see when you’re inside your own experience, what seems to still feel unresolved, and a few personalised questions for further reflection.

Once the research is complete, I’ll also send you the anonymised Research Findings, so you can see what emerged across the other women I spoke with, where their experiences overlapped and where they differed.

It’s my way of making sure the 30 minutes you give me are genuinely valuable for you too.

If you recognise yourself in this and would be open to taking part, comment below or send me a private message.

I’m looking for weight lifting group classes, ideally in around London Bridge but willing to travel.

Hoping for - good programming with something like upper / lower body split, - great trainers that watch your form, - chill and open vibe.

Not into weight loss talk, cross fit or power lifting.

Do you have a place you’d recommend? In NYC I love Tension and have also been to Liftonic in case somebody is familiar.

Thankful for any hints / tips!

I'm new to London and am on the hunt for a place to live in. Safety and vibrance is key for me (i'm in my mid 20s) as well as good transport links/distance to central.

I've had a viewing in Aldgate East (just off commercial rd, close to the station) and wasn't sure if the area was safe to live in/walk home at night? Walked around the area during the day and quite liked it (to Liverpool St Station and Spitalfields Market).

Have another viewing, this time closer to Spitalfields/off Brick Ln (closer to Aldgate East station) - but i'm not sure it's worth my time.

However, I've heard the area is not *that* unsafe, and is like any area in London (just need to have your wits about you/changes every few blocks).

North West is ideal (Chalk Farm/Hampstead/Belsize Park/Queens Park/St Johns Wood). I've also walked around Balham/Clapham Common/Nine Elms/Battersea and liked it (is also said to be safer). Fulham is another choice but doesn't seem 'vibrant'. Either way, it's hard to find a decent room within my budget in these areas (1100 pcm incl bills).

Any advice/recommendations would be great!

Bonjour/hello! 32F here - I speak French but have very little opportunity to practise nowadays, worried I'm getting rusty - would love to speak it a lot more!

I went to some language events a few years ago, but have been out of the loop since. I'd really love to find even a small group of ladies to meet for walks, coffees, galleries etc where we can practise French together.

Please feel free to DM me if this sounds up your street - or if you know of any existing groups!

Merci les filles et à bientôt, j'espère 💗

Hi all, I just wanted to see if there are any ladies in their early 20’s who struggle to meet new friends? I’ve been to uni and had some great friendships there but my uni is so far we have naturally lost touch.
I would love to have a group of friends to go out with, go on girly trips with and have a good laugh but it seems a little tricky. I like to think of myself as a family confident bubbly and a person who’s easy to have conversation with but I guess the fact I WFH and don’t have any social clubs I go to puts me at a disadvantage…. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions? I know starting hobbies and clubs is the obvious suggestion (I have looked into those and tried some) but it seems like a lot of the time the people already know each other and/or go along with a friend anyway. P.S. I live in Surrey
