Book Club: Catch up on the classics
Everyone is welcome as we catch up on the books on our reading list, the one's you've 'always been meaning to read'. Old or new, long or short - which one we read is up to you. At the end of each social we'll pick the next one we want to read.
So whether you love the classics or you've not yet read one, you never know whether your next favourite book is just pages away.

Science Museum Lates: Wounded, conflict, casualties and care
The Science Museum’s Lates are a free adult-only event that takes place on the last Wednesday of the month.
If you've not been before, you can expect themed exhibitions, talks and activities, with topics ranging from sex and alcohol to climate change. This month, the theme is "Wounded: Conflict, casualties and care"
We'll be heading down as a group for a couple of hours of crazy and interesting fun so make sure you sign up today and don't miss out!
Roof Terrace Drinks at Golden Bee
Well it's midweek and with the sun being out who wants to spend it staying indoors this evening?
So come and join your host Chris at Golden Bee's exclusive newly refurbished upstairs rooftop bar with its new city lounge and cocktail bar with views overlooking East London.
This open-air bar has comfy sofas and tables and with covered and open-air spaces, this is the perfect rooftop bar for unpredictable London summers where you can toast alfresco drinks with a view over the bustling streets of Shoreditch.
Thursday 27th July
Curry Night with Chris!
It's been a tough week and you need a break. And what better way to warm the soul than with a hot curry and some great company!
Join us for a Thursday evening of engaging and random conversation with fellow thinkers. Awkward silences are a thing of the past as we delve into some delicious Indian food and enjoy a chilled out evening of relaxed conversation.
Bring your own bottle, choose your own spice level and let's get this BALTI started! (geddit?)
Speakeasy Drinks
New is old news. It’s all about the retro as we revisit the days of America's Prohibition era in London's best speakeasy bars.
Our capital is brimming with elusive bars hidden behind unmarked doors and unassuming entrances. They invite those in the know to intimate yet raucous evenings. Join us as we sip cocktails from teacups, peruse menus hidden in books and soak up some jazz.
So, dust off your dancing shoes and dig out your map as London invites you into an underground world of illicit drinking.
New Member Drinks
This is simply a chance for new members to pop in for a drink and meet one of the team!
It's the perfect social if you're new to the community, or are feeling a bit nervous. It'll give you the opportunity to meet someone from Team Bob, who can answer any questions you have about the website, the app or the socials.
You'll also get to meet one of our volunteer Hosts, who provide a friendly face to greet you at the door and will never leave you sat alone in a corner.
Nothing hectic - just a few midweek drinks and a chat.
Friday 28th July
The Summer of Quiz-ty Nine!
Let's celebrate the great British Summer with a Quiz!
This will be a slightly off-the-wall quiz with a summer theme! Expect Summer tunes, the 'holiday round', ice cream tasting, beach games and more. Holiday attire encouraged! We'll have plenty of spot prizes and fun - all we need is the you and the SUN!
Grab a cold Pimms and get stuck in.
As usual we'll put you into teams when you arrive so don't worry about coming on your own - that's part of the fun!
Saturday 29th July
Deduction - A Murder Mystery Street Hunt
There’s been a grisly murder at Cloo Manor and Dr. Grey is the victim. His discarded body has been discovered in the coal cellar, but who is the perpetrator and what is the weapon? A mystery waiting to be solved.
Six suspects, six possible murder weapons and nine possible locations. Sound familiar?
Traditional Afternoon Tea at Brown's
Join Nicola for a relaxed afternoon tea at Brown's in Covent Garden.
Make sure you come along hungry and without early dinner plans as you'll be making your way through lots of sandwiches, scones and pastries.
We'll enjoy a selection of rolls, home baked scones, and then most importantly some delicious desserts, which will include salted caramel profiteroles and a black cherry mousse.
Sunday 30th July
John Lewis Rooftop Lunch
Escape the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street in the John Lewis Gardening Society rooftop, opening for its second summer. Cool down with an ice-cold beverage served from the new Gardener's Arms, rumoured to be Britain’s smallest pub.
Join us and lunch in one of the handful of 'summer houses' placed around the rooftop by Michelin Bib Gourmand award winner "Foley's".
Foley's marry up the dazzling flavours of the Middle East and Asia with local British suppliers, and will incorporate herbs grown and freshly picked daily to form a uniquely-crafted menu.
Newspapers and Naughtiness - Walking Tour
The centre of London's writing and journalism hub has always found itself on Fleet street and the surrounding areas.
Many a dirty secret, report and publishing deal have gone down in the heart of the city... But do you know all the facts?
Now is the time to give your noggin' a joggin', as well as stretching out those legs, by joining your other fellow thinkers on a lovely Sunday afternoon with one of our favourite walking tour guides - Rob.
We'll end the tour with a well deserved afternoon beverage at one of the local pubs on Fleet Street, or perhaps even visit a Victorian gin palace!
