About London Gays

Friendly socials for gay men in London

London Gays brings men together for hosted socials, mixers and community connection without the dating-app pressure.

What’s OnView Meetup


What we do

Hosted socials

We run relaxed events where people can talk properly, meet new faces and feel welcomed from the moment they arrive.

Who comes

Newcomers and regulars

Events usually include a friendly mix of first-timers, regulars, people new to London and long-time locals.

The feel

Community, not dating

London Gays is social and community-focused. Some friendships start here, and some relationships too, but that is not the point of the group.

Quick facts: more than 4,000 Meetup members, a 4.7/5 public Meetup rating, and usually around 50-60 guys at our main events.

Coming on your own?

Lots of people do. Say hello to a host when you arrive and we will help you settle in. You do not need to know anyone before you come.

Where we meet

Our regular socials include events at the Duke of Wellington in Soho, plus meetups in other London areas such as Barnet. At Duke of Wellington socials, the first floor is reserved for London Gays, attendees get 10% off drinks during the meetup, and the icebreaker challenge includes a chance to win a free drink.
