SLG (South London Gays)
Looking
for a friendly social group for gays in the South London area? Then South London
Gays — SLG — could be what you're looking for. Set up fifteen years ago, SLG
provides a wide range of events and activities for its members.
Meetings
SLG's main focus is on the monthly meetings with guest speakers. These take place on the second Tuesday of each month at a pub in Clapham, South London. Speakers have included local MPs, gay writers, religious representatives, journalists, and members of lesbian and gay political groups.
Speakers in the last few months have included:
- Darren Johnson, Green Party Member of the GLA
- David Bridle, Managing Director of Boyz magazine
- Joan Smith of the Independent.

Social events
Another strong feature of SLG activity has been theatre visits. Over the past year visits have ranged from Angels in America at Putney Arts Theatre, Cleveland Street-the Musical at the Stag pub/theatre to A Winters Tale by the Southside Players through to Buddy at Wimbledon Theatre.
The group also arrange regular cinema and restaurant visits, tennis matches, and tea parties and coffee evenings in members' homes.
Social visits have included exhibitions at the Horniman Museum and the British Museum, as well as days out in Salisbury and Whitstable and visits to Dennis Severs House, Spitalfields, Leighton House, Kensington, and backstage at the National Theatre. Pub visits in various London neighbourhoods have also become a growing feature of our programme.
Other activities
Although primarily a social group, SLG has been involved in various letter-writing campaigns on gay issues over many years and is involved in joint events with other gay groups in London and Surrey.

Membership of SLG costs £7 per year (£5 unwaged) and you do not have to live in South London!
