The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, and we try to gather somewhere different each time in order to see a bit more of the city. We have some 280 members on our distribution list (ranging from 2 days to 20 years living in London) and usually 40 - 70 attend each event. These events have included a few pints in the pub, dinner parties, picnics in the park, day-trips, and pub crawls. Membership is free of charge.
