Making new friends as an adult in London isn’t always easy. New research from WeMeet has revealed that 44% of people find it difficult to meet others in the city, while 20% say they feel lonely when friends aren’t around. That’s where WeMeet comes in — a free social events app from travel brand WeRoad that helps people connect through relaxed, low-pressure events across the capital.

Here are five brilliant WeMeet events happening in London this May.

1. Join a relaxed Soho walking club

If you enjoy a casual stroll and a good coffee, the Walking Club: Afternoon Stroll & Coffee could be the perfect Saturday afternoon activity. Taking place on Saturday 16 May at 2pm in the Soho area, the event offers a relaxed one-hour walk followed by coffee and conversation with new people. The exact meeting point is confirmed in the app 24 hours before the event.

Perfect for anyone wanting to explore London while meeting like-minded people without awkward networking vibes.
