About this Event

"...it's like an Erasmus exchange but for professionals..." - Katerina W., opera singer
"Not your typical pub meetup! You can actually have meaningful conversations and make really useful connections!" - Hans-Georg B., NGO director
"I always meet very smart and interesting people from all around the whole world here." - Ai Ling Y., embassy staff

IMPORTANT: Our secret venue changes every week. We hold a lottery to limit guest numbers while giving everyone a chance. The exact address will be e-mailed only to those chosen by the lottery. Read below carefully to understand why, and how to enter the lottery.

To plan your journey in advance, the secret venue will always be in the area between Monument, Tower Hill and Liverpool Street.

Every Friday evening, World Citizens of London gather at the most amazing weekly meetup for expats and international professionals (+ anyone aspiring to be).
  • We're a safe, diverse and supportive community for global people in London who wish to meet, share perspectives and discover new cultures.
  • We plan a range of different activities, including regular weekly socials, dining events, walks, trips, sports, debates and more fun activities.
  • Our weekly Friday Socials feature a mix of casual/informal networking and structured group discussions. Everyone is expected to introduce themselves and speak during the group activities.
  • We're 100% volunteer-run and aim to keep our events warm, safe, friendly and non-commercial. You can help us, too!

How to participate? 3 steps for a warm, safe and comfortable experience

We want all our participants to feel warm, safe and comfortable while having meaningful conversations and connections.

  1. Understand our basic community rules
  2. Enter our ticket lottery
  3. If you're in the lottery draw, you'll receive an e-mail with the secret venue

1. Our basic community rules

  • Be respectful and courteous with everyone.
  • Be present and participate actively.
  • Drink responsibly (alcohol is no excuse for bad behaviour).

2. Enter our ticket lottery

We are a very large community - 100,000+ across different platforms - and our Friday Social is our most popular event. In order to get a fair and balanced mix of participants every Friday (newcomers and regulars, different professional backgrounds, cultures, etc.) we run a ticket lottery:

  • You enter the lottery by getting a ticket here on Eventbrite.
  • We run the lottery multiple times between Thursday and Friday afternoon.
  • If you are drawn, you will receive an e-mail with the secret venue.
  • If not, please try again next Friday.
  • Gaming our rules or the lottery will get you blacklisted.

3. Our secret venue e-mail

Our secret venue changes every week and is only revealed to those who are admitted in the lottery draw. The secret venue details will be emailed in multiple batches between Thursday evening and Friday afternoon. Depending on availability, there can be a last-minute draw just hours before the event.

IMPORTANT

We are a 100% volunteer-run team. Despite careful planning and structure this is a private informal activity, so we cannot be liable for any damage or inconvenience. We put safety and comfort first; we take all complaints seriously and collaborate with the police if needed. We take photos and videos, which may include you, to help promote the community in line with GDPR Data Protection law. We may restrict or prioritize guests at our own discretion for safety, quality and logistics reasons. While our admin decisions may not always be perfect we ask that you follow our decisions first and raise any disputes to discuss with us later and privately. By attending you understand, agree with and respect all terms of this disclaimer.

We also run smaller and ad-hoc events. Find them all on our meetup page https://www.meetup.com/worldcitizen/
