London Quakers' mission is to keep Quakers across London connected and to share our voice with the wider world. We share events with London Friends, foster communication, and aim to strengthen our London community.
London is home to around 40 Quaker meetings. Most meet on Sundays, with some gatherings held at other times too.
Each one is open and warmly welcomes visitors. Come as you are, whenever you feel called to join us.
The next Joint London Area Meeting will be held on Sunday 11 January at Friends House (173–177 Euston Road, NW1 2BJ), with full hybrid (Zoom) participation available.

Name clarification: At the Joint London Area Meeting on 4 October, Friends agreed to name the new charity Quakers in London. How this sits alongside “London Area Meeting” is still being settled. For now, in all documents for 11 January, these terms refer to the same body.
Clerks this time: Nate Burnikell, Clare Scott Booth, Peter Jones.
As part of the merger to form Quakers in London, there is work to do to merge our finances and set up appropriate systems that are simpler and robust. As part of the project, we are looking for someone to be paid to do this work, as we think the task is too big to ask a volunteer to do. Once the new systems are set up and our finances merged, we hope that there will be both significantly less work for us to do to manage our finances and our numerous funds and bank accounts. There is also planned to be more professional support available than today. We have done something similar with a paid worker for the legal workstream so we can ensure that the move to Quakers in London meets our legal obligations for new trustees and I think one of the reasons this is progressing well is that the worker is a Quaker and understands our ways.
IF you think this is you, please use the Contact Form on this website to tell Keith Walton and he will send further information. If you think it isn't you but you know a suitable Quaker candidate, pass the message. The deadline for applications is 11 Jan 2026.
