Clothing Swaps London

Book Swap Meetup 📚📚📚

Basic Ideas: 🌞 📚☕ Any books sitting there collecting dust? Some holiday gifts? Or it’s a book that has changed your life that you want to share? Feel free to bring book(s) to discuss or swap, we usually have more books than people in the end, so feel free to pop along just to have a chat as well. Aiming for every 4 weeks book swap meetup. Note: The event is free to attend, so the only cost for you will only be buying a drink at the location, so coffee/tea/beer etc.

Book shop exploring (Greenwich, Cutty Sark)

In the digital age💻📡📱, do you still like getting a physical book to read? Where do you buy them? Amazon? Waterstone? Blackstone? How about join us for a bookshop crawl, let's try to find some hidden gems of independent bookshops. (Or just tag along for a chat😁) Find out more book shops to try, this time we will be going to further north in London than usual. We will meet at Camden Town tube station, then walk along mostly along the main road to Tufnell Park station. There will be 4 book shops in total, never been to most of them, so it will be some new experience for me as well. Upon finishing, we can find somewhere to sit and chat about books. The time is just a guidance, some shops take longer and some are less. If you ever want to stay in one shop for longer (I know, been there, done that😂) feel free to do so, you can join us at other shops. (See itinerary below) Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with any of the shops, so you are not obliged to buy any books, just get whatever you like. *** 📚💃🏼 📖💃🏿☕️ ITINERARY ☕️💃🏾🍷💃🏻🍴📚 Looking to do one near Cutty Sark in Greenwich, not too many bookshops, so probably will be an hour one overall for the shops. We will all meet up at Cutty Sark DLR Station. Don't worry if you are late, join us in along the walks. Then the tour shall begin! 1: Greenwich Book Time Address: 277 Greenwich High Rd, London SE10 8NB 2: Rare Books & Curios Address: 8 Greenwich Market, London SE10 9HZ 3: Oxfam Bookshop Address: 2 College Approach, London SE10 9HY 4: Waterstones Address: 51 Greenwich Church St, London SE10 9BL \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Wow, you made it, hopefully you have found some books that will make you happy🎈🎉✨.

SWARM - London

Something's shifted. The people who've spent years deep in data - the analysts, the engineers, the consultants - are building with AI agents now. **And it's the most exciting thing in decades.** New tools. New workflows. Whole new ways of thinking about what data work even means. Everyone's experimenting. Everyone's learning. **Nobody's done this before.** We couldn't find a community in the UK for people doing this work. So we're starting one. In pubs, with laptops, sharing what's actually working. No slides. No pitches. No lanyard energy. Just people who build things, showing each other what they've built. **Bring your terminal. Bring your questions. Bring the thing that's half-working and you can't figure out why.** More at [swarm.org.uk](https://swarm.org.uk/)

L Community Nights – Round Two (6 TICKETS LEFT)

L Community Nights is our monthly social for lesbian and bisexual women in London. Our first night sold out, so we're back for round two. We're taking over a dedicated area inside the Hall at the Big Belly. It's a fantastic venue with a great atmosphere and we'll have a dedicated area to ourselves for the evening. There's also a comedy show on upstairs the same night. It's completely optional, but your ticket covers it if you fancy popping down for some stand-up. Last time a few people dipped in and out between the two, so you can catch some stand-up and come back to us without buying anything extra. **Tickets** £15. Advance booking only. Book your place: [thelcommunity.com/nights](https://thelcommunity.com/nights) **You won't be standing around on your own** Most women come on their own. There'll be hosts on the night who introduce people and keep things moving, so you won't be left wondering what to do. We expect around 50 women to attend. Women in our community range from their 20s to their 60s. A lot of them tell us they were nervous before their first one. You can arrive, get a drink, settle in, and just see how you feel. **Important** This is a female-only space for lesbian and bisexual women. That's the whole point of it and that boundary is upheld at every event. If that's not for you, this won't be the right night. **Finding us** The reservation is under the name Jenny. If you can't find us or feel unsure walking in, message on WhatsApp on +44 7591 386019 and someone will come out to meet you. **Staying connected** L Community is a free platform for lesbian and bisexual women, with a community timeline, member profiles, and a directory for housemates, services, and local recommendations. Once you join the app, you can post on the community timeline to let others know you're coming to the event and introduce yourself before the night.
