The London Sci-Fi/Fantasy Meetup Group

A passionate community exploring speculative fiction, games, and film

📚 Southwark Twice monthly - Saturdays Social Fiction Sci-fi & fantasy

Welcome to the League of Non-Aligned (LOTNA)! Founded in 1998, we are London's premier friendly, inclusive community for anyone who loves science fiction, fantasy, and speculative fiction across books, films, and games.

We gather twice a month at the cozy Mad Hatter pub on Stamford Street near London Bridge to share our favorite worlds, swap recommendations, and build real friendships with people who get it. Our meetings are structured yet highly casual, escaping real-world politics to celebrate imaginative literature together. No matter which galaxy you are visiting, you will fit right in with our warm crowd!

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Liam Carver · 17 June 2026 Burnout took me apart. A beginner running club is how I put myself back together. I pushed myself until I broke, then sat at home ashamed and flat. Learning to run slowly, with no one keeping score, taught me that showing up gently beats winning. Claire Donnelly · 7 June 2026 I sat silent at book club for months. Finding my voice there changed my whole life. I'd spent my whole life letting other people's opinions fill the room. A monthly book club, and one patient question, taught me that mine mattered too. Margaret Ellison · 5 June 2026 At 68, I thought my world had got smaller. A walking group proved me wrong. After I retired and lost my husband, the house went quiet and the days got long. Then a Saturday walking group gave me back something I thought was gone for good.
