Written in Colour Book Club
Book club
Written In Colour is a community-led book club dedicated to celebrating global narratives and marginalized voices. We believe in literature as a vital art form and a powerful tool for community connection. Our sessions are designed to be "third spaces"—welcoming, high-quality environments where we move beyond the page to engage in meaningful cultural discourse. Whether we are hosting a "Silent Read" social, a community book swap, or a deep-dive discussion on masterpieces like Yaa Gyasi’s Homegoing, the focus is always on good books and better company. We are currently running sessions at the Woolwich Front Room (SE18) and the Black Cultural Centre (Islington). Inclusive & Accessible: All sessions are free to attend/donation-based. The Vibe: Low pressure, high inspiration. Who it’s for: Anyone who wants to diversify their bookshelf and connect with fellow residents in a relaxed, creative atmosphere. Come and help us turn stories into conversation.

Seeking a gaming group
Hey! I live in stockwell and I am a DM for 20+ years. I’m looking for experienced players who are keen to build a regular in-person D&D group together. This is for people who are: • Reliable and genuinely keen to play • Interested in a long-term group, not one-offs • Gay / LGBTQ+ and comfortable in an exclusively gay group. If this sounds like you, please get in touch with me.

Seeking a book club
I’m 24, and moved to Hainault/ilford some months ago. I’d love to make friends who are into books so we can have meet ups and buddy read together. My favourite genres are fantasy, romantasy, thriller and horror although I’m happy to try any book! I’d also be happy to start my own book club if I can’t find any to join

Im 50, married and work full time. I have been a book worm all my life, I like a variety of books, but my favourite is something with a twist I don't see coming. I would love to make some new friends who have similar likes to me! I am in East London (E15)

Seeking a gaming group
Recently moved to Clapham and looking to join a D&D group, 5 or 5.5. Ideally looking for a long term campaign but happy with one off sessions too. I'm best suited to groups that like to have a good laugh with wacky plays. Mid thirties but happy to join any age group for those who would welcome me. Decent theoretical knowledge on the game but limited practical experience so might require a bit of upskilling at the start.

I've been playing for a couple of years 5th edition and I'm keen to pick up a weekend game. I DM a game currently so would prefer to play but equally happy to DM for a bit to help a group find its feet. Based in SE London. Mid-thirties.

Seeking a book club
I am a 22 year old university student wanting to discuss books and make new friends! I love reading however I don’t spend as much time reading as I would like, so joining a book club seems like the perfect opportunity to motivate myself into doing it more. My favourite genres are fantasy (especially dark fantasy/fairytale books) and adventure. I enjoy reading classics from time to time, and also manga. :))

Seeking a gaming group
Hey I'm Jack. I'm 26. Been living in London for over 4 years and would really love to give DND a try. I have a basic grasp of the rules, but would still be a beginner to playing with other people. I like watching critical role and playing BG3 so that's where most of my basic understanding comes from. Looking for a longer term campaign, happy for a mix of storytelling and combat. LGBT friendly would be great. Ideally in person but also open to online!
