Meeting people in real life is harder than it should be. And finding a dedicated space to hear and discuss genuinely interesting ideas — over a drink, with good company — is harder than it should be too. So I decided to do something about it. The Ideas Open Mic is London’s think and drink night — a recurring evening of handpicked talks in bars where brilliant people share the ideas that excite them most. Think TED talk meets pub night. Storytellers, academics, entrepreneurs and curious minds take to the stage for 15-20 minutes each. Every speaker is reviewed and selected based on quality, variety and fit — so the evening is always worth your time. Come along, grab a drink, and leave having heard something that just might change how you think. Join this club to hear about upcoming events first, and to connect with other curious minds in London. Hosted by Gareth Lewis Events at The London Art Bar, London.

Going it alone doesn't mean doing it alone. Whether you're building a startup, freelancing, running a side hustle, starting a charity, or just doing something ambitious outside of conventional employment, this group is for you. Being an entrepreneur or freelancer can be a lonely experience. You've got big decisions to make, have to keep the confidence of your clients and investors, and sometimes pretend everything is okay on LinkedIn when you're stressed out of your mind. This is a space where you don't have to do that. The Founders & Freelancers Meetup is a monthly Meetup in London for people who are building something. It can be at any stage and in any sector. We're not just here to swap business cards. We're here to build useful relationships, honestly share our experiences, and support each other through the the ups-and-downs of working independently. My own background includes co-founding PopUp Painting and The London Art Bar, and more recently building Gareth Lewis Marketing & Events. I know firsthand how this kind of work can feel equally exhilarating but also isolating. Come as you are. Bring your wins, your questions, and your screw-ups. All welcome.

Hi girls! I thought it would be fun to start a club for women who love watching TV shows and movies. Kind of like a book club, but for TV shows (and the occasional movie). The idea is to meet up every few weeks, chat about what we’re watching, discover new shows and make some new friends along the way. I’d also love to organise movie nights and cinema trips in the future!
