About this meeting

Hackney's Bethnal Green Happy Destiny is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting that gathers on Wednesdays at 7pm at St Peter's Church Bethnal Green, just off St Peter's Close. The meeting lasts an hour and takes its name from a phrase familiar to many in AA, describing the sense of purpose recovery can bring. As with all AA meetings, the only requirement for attending is a desire to stop drinking. Bethnal Green sits within the wider Hackney area of east London, and the church is easy to reach from the surrounding streets. There is no cost to attend and no need to book; members simply arrive shortly before 7pm.
