Charing Cross Lunchtime Step

Charing Cross Lunchtime Step is a Thursday meeting at the Friends Meeting House, 8 Hop Gardens off St Martin's Lane, starting at 12.30pm and lasting an hour - easy to fit into a central London lunch break. As a step meeting, each week centres on one of AA's Twelve Steps. It is a closed meeting, which is AA's way of saying it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking, or who think they might; it does not mean newcomers are shut out - quite the opposite. Anyone attending in a purely supporting or professional role should pick an open meeting instead. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free with no booking required.
