About this Event

I am excited to announce the return of Writing Coffee and Conversation—a welcoming event for anyone interested in self-reflective writing, journaling, and poetry.

Join us as we use carefully selected poems to inspire our reflections and discussions.

Our focus is on self-discovery and self-improvement.

We meet at selected bespoke cafés and places of interest across London, using these inspiring venues as a jumping-off point for our writing.

You don't need to worry about spelling, grammar, style, or having any background in poetry or expressive writing. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to connect, reflect and experiment with words in a friendly and supportive environment.
