Welcome
This is the website of London Quakers: a resource for Quakers in and around London, and for people interested in finding out more about Quakerism.
London Quakers
Maybe you have some involvement with Quakers elsewhere in the world or in the UK, maybe you have some involvement with London Quakers already. Our aim is to keep London Quakers in touch with one another across the boundaries of the seven Area Meetings, and to give London Quakers a voice in addressing the wider world.
There are about forty meetings across London. Most meet for worship each Sunday, some more often, some less often. We aim to be able to tell you something about each meeting in that meeting’s own words. Any of them will be glad to see you whenever you come.

31 Aug 2008 | 2.00pm – 3.00pm
Meeting for Worship at Speakers Corner takes place on the last Sunday of every month. It really is a special experience to worship out of doors in a place of stillness, whilst surrounded by the bustle of activity that takes place here.

Mental illness lies behind much poverty, inequality and crime.
• Why do we not grant adequate resources to meet the need?
Within every extended family there is someone who is mentally ill.
• How do we overcome fear, ignorance & lack of public sympathy?
Creative expression is now seen as a royal road to mental health.
• What is the evidence that the spiritual has a role in healing, too?
