Real stories of people who found their people in London.

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. Stephen Pryce · 11 June 2026 I couldn't remember the last time I'd made a new friend. Then I made one at 41. My friendships had quietly thinned out over a decade, and I'd stopped believing new ones were still possible at my age. A weekly board game night proved me wrong. 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.
