About this meeting
On Fridays at 7.30pm, St Barnabas Church on Clapham Common Northside is home to the Battersea Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, reached through the entrance on Lavender Gardens. The venue sits on the border of Battersea and Clapham, within the Wandsworth area of south-west London, and draws members from across that stretch of the city. As with all AA meetings, the only requirement for attending is a desire to stop drinking. There is no cost to attend and no need to book a place; members simply make their way to the Lavender Gardens entrance shortly before 7.30pm and find a seat inside St Barnabas Church.
