A warm and conversational evening reading group in the heart of Peckham

📚 Southwark Monthly - last Thursday Beginner-friendly Social Fiction Contemporary fiction

Spend an evening with fellow Peckham readers! Our Peckham Library Book Group meets on the last Thursday of every month to explore contemporary and classic fiction in a casual, highly conversational setting.

Our discussion is wonderfully casual and conversational, focusing on our personal reading journeys and connections to the characters. You don't need to have any literary expertise-just bring your honest opinions and a friendly smile. It is a brilliant, free way to carve out some dedicated reading time and connect with lovely, diverse locals in a comfortable community space. Come along and join the chat!

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Bridget Lawson · 18 June 2026 I look after my mum full time. A Saturday walk is the one hour that's mine. Caring for someone you love can quietly erase you. This is about the morning I started walking with a group of strangers, and how one hour a week gave me back to myself. Arjun Mehta · 13 June 2026 I optimised my whole life in London. Except the part that actually mattered. I moved here for a brilliant engineering job and built a life so efficient I barely had to speak to anyone. It worked perfectly, right up until it didn't. A running club fixed what I couldn't. Erin Walsh · 16 June 2026 Socialising never made sense to me. At a board game night, the rules were finally written down. As an autistic adult, the unspoken rules of socialising always left me lost and exhausted. A board game night was the first place the rules were actually explicit - and I could finally relax.
