St Mary Magdalene Church at 193 Bermondsey Street hosts the Bermondsey Alcoholics Anonymous meeting every Tuesday at 8pm. It runs for an hour and a half, a little longer than many meetings, which allows time for more people to share. The church is a short walk from London Bridge, in one of the busier evening streets in Southwark, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. This is an open meeting, so it is a sensible first port of call whether you are questioning your own drinking or accompanying someone who is; family, friends and professionals can all sit in. Nothing needs to be arranged in advance. Turn up a few minutes early, take a seat, and listen for as long as you want.
Can I bring someone with me for support?
Yes. Bermondsey is an open AA meeting, so friends, family members and anyone else interested are welcome to attend alongside you. Nobody is required to speak or identify themselves.
How long does the meeting last and what does it cost?
It runs from 8pm to about 9.30pm on Tuesdays and is completely free. There is no booking, referral or membership form; a voluntary collection covers the room rent.
Is St Mary Magdalene Church accessible?
Yes, the venue at 193 Bermondsey Street (SE1 3UW) is listed as wheelchair accessible. If you have other access needs, arriving a little early gives you time to get settled.
