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:
- Joan Smith of the Independent
- Professor Donald West, Psychiatrist and Criminologist
- Jeremy Marks from the Courage movement.

Social events
Another strong feature of SLG activity has been theatre visits. Over the past year visits have ranged from The Winslow Boy at Putney Arts Theatre, The Cherry Orchard at the Network Theatre to Blood Wedding by the Southside Players and through to Dame Edna Everage in Dick Wittington at Wimbledon Theatre.
The group also arrange regular cinema and restaurant visits, tennis matches, and DVD evenings, tea parties and coffee evenings in members' homes.
Social visits have included exhibitions at the Wallace Collection and the British Museum, as well as days out in Hastings and Rochester and visits to Dulwich Picture Gallery, the Ragged School Museum, and walks along the Thames and the Regents Canal. Pub visits and parties with other groups have also become a regular 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.
