Come along for the afternoon to meet new LGBT+ people, chat with old friends and just chill.

We meet on the first or second Saturday of the month. We usually meet at the cafe in Kenwood House for the "coffee" part and then walk to one of the pubs near to Hampstead Heath for drink and food. Occasionally a Roving Coffee Posse will take us elsewhere to make a change - or if the Northern Line is closed!

The NLCP has been running since 2004 on OUTeverywhere and from 2018 on EventBrite.

Kenwood House: 2pm - 3pm

The first half of the event is the "coffee" part at Kenwood House where we'll chill until 3pm. When we're ready to move on we'll walk to the pub, but we might stop for a drink on the way.

If the weather is good we'll be round the back of Kenwood House in the café garden, sitting near the colonnade walkway or if that is closed off then to the right of the Brew House. Please be aware that we will try to be in the Old Kitchen if we decide to sit inside; this is through the same entrance as the disabled toilet, indicated in the picture below. We won't be sitting in the other seating area in the Brew House café unless the Old Kitchen is full or closed for a function.

The Brew House serves hot and cold food and drinks with china crockery. There is also a smaller café to the left, the Steward's Room, which is slightly cheaper and serves a smaller choice of soup, sandwiches, cakes, drinks and ice cream.
