Attention ladies looking to meet new friends!

My friend and I live in London together, me for 12 years and her for just less than a year. However we both speak of the same issue - finding ‘our people’ whilst we try to put down roots here.

I know there’s existing community groups out there that aim to bring people together, which is something I’ve always wanted to do myself. However, given I still see posts of people struggling to find friends in London, I’m really keen to understand what the missing piece might be.

Are the community groups not reaching you?
Do the events not appeal to you?
Do you need something more specific for your hobby to meet like minded people?

I’d love some feedback from those with this same challenge, if you’re willing to give it!
