​TL/DR

​The date is now the second WEDNESDAY and we have a new venue.

​This is a the monthly gathering of our London community of practice for long-term thinking.

​​​📬 Please do RSVP here as in our new location it is particularly important for us to be able to know who to expect.

​​​📖 Some context: There is no suggested reading this month, just some requested thinking: we have a new venue with new possibilities, so... what next?

​🏛️Where - new location & new possibilities

​Our new host venue is just off the Strand, near to St Clement Danes church and the Royal Courts of Justice. Please RSVP to see the exact location.

​At the moment, the space is quite basic (just tables and chairs). We have the possibility to help it be more in the coming months. All ideas are very welcome.

​🍻What to bring & what to take away

​🍾We are meeting in a private location so this is a BYOB gathering, including alcohol.
☕Hot water will be available if you want to bring teas and suchlike.
🥄We have mugs and glasses and plates there already too.

​♻️ Please be prepared to leave the venue cleaner than we found it. This may include taking our rubbish away with us.

​🍹About these gatherings

​​Long Now London is a group of people who share an interest in long-term thinking.  We have been gathering in a variety of formats, locations and frequencies since 02008. Since 02018 we have met on the second Thursday of the month, usually in a pub, sometimes in a park, and online when necessary. 🍻

​​🌎 We are an independent local group inspired by the work of the Long Now Foundation and using their name with permission. Over the years our gatherings have developed their own distinct character and ethos, a reflection of our differing locale both on the planet and within human culture and history.

​We meet for a variety of activities throughout the year, but our monthly gatherings encourage conversations about long-term thinking, 📡 deep time, 🏺 history, 🖌️ art, 🔭 futures, 🛰️ technology, 🔧 maintenance, a wide range of -ologies and -isms depending on the crowd. 🔎

​🌍 We are in regular dialogue with other such groups around the world. 🌏 If you would like to be put in touch with like-minded people where you are, please do get in touch.

​Oh, and we write the year with an additional digit at the front to guard against the deca-millennium bug; 🦠 to encourage our minds towards further horizons, and also because it’s fun.

​Theme - What now?

​🗓️ Until the end of 02025 we have a new venue with more possibilities than the pubs and bars where we have generally met before.

​💡This gives us a few months to try new things. What other format might we want these gatherings to take? What might we add to our informal socials? Or might we want to schedule other gatherings more regularly? All suggestions are very welcome.

​🤔 There is no suggested reading this month. Just bring your ideas please, and your energy to help make them happen.
