Looking to meet more LGBTQ+ people? Join us at The London Art Bar for our regular meet-ups hosted by LAB co-founder Gareth. 

Now in our fourth year, our meet-ups are all about meeting new people, making friends, and having a good time in a queer-friendly space.

The meet-ups have a very relaxed vibe with background music at just the right volume for chatting to people! There are also some boardgames on the shelves if people fancy playing them. Feel free to bring your own!

I (Gareth) try my best to greet everybody, but this is of course easier at the beginning of the event. If you are ever stuck, say hello to our friendly bar team who can point you in my direction.

Come by yourself or bring a friend :)

Are you an LBTQ+ woman looking to meet other LBTQ+ women? Then this Sapphic Speed mixer is for you!

Whether you're looking to make new friends or grow your network in London, this is your chance to meet other LBTQ+ women in a friendly, inclusive environment.

We'll open the doors at 5PM, with the speed mixing beginning at 5:30PM. Throughout the evening, you'll hop between a series of short, three minute conversations, with several breaks throughout the event for more natural mingling.

The London Art Bar will also be hosting an inclusive screening of the finale of the FIFA Men's World Cup, which you are welcome to stick around for! Kick off is at 8PM.

You're welcome to come solo or with friends!

Join us for a fun quiz night in support of Not A Phase!

Bring your best pitch to hype up your friend and meet other singles. Fun and laughs guaranteed!

Dating in 2026 can be hard. Who doesn’t have app fatigue? Join us at The London Art Bar for an IRL dating experience like no other. In this event, you’ll get a chance to pitch your friend to a room full of awesome other singles.

If you’re pitching: all you need to do is create a 3-5 minute slide deck (Google Slides, PowerPoint - whatever you prefer) that shows off all the best things about your friend. You’ll then need to take to the mic and give your pitch to the room. You might just be playing cupid!

We will have time for mingling in the break and after the pitches - so plenty of time to work your charm if someone catches your eye.

Not pitching? No worries - there are plenty of spots in the audience and you’ll still get to join in with the mingling of course.

Doors will open at 7PM with the presentations starting from about 8PM.

Key info for pitchers:
Please arrive at the venue close to 7PM so we can introduce you to the equipment and run through any issues

You can make your presentations in a range of formats (Canvas, PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides). Please send them to hello@garethlewis.co no later than 10PM the day before the event in either Google Slides or PowerPoint format

When making your presentations, please be mindful of your friend’s privacy. Don’t include anything they will be mortified to have featured, and consult with them what contact details are appropriate to share (or not). Instagram handles might be okay, but not home addresses!
