Burnt Oak Akron Reflections meets on Wednesday nights at the Church of the Annunciation, 4 Thirleby Road, off Gervase Road in Burnt Oak, Edgware. The meeting runs from 8pm for an hour and a half, and its name nods to Akron, Ohio, where Alcoholics Anonymous began in 1935. It is a closed meeting, reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking; anyone in that position is welcome without notice, but it is not a meeting for observers or accompanying family. The church is wheelchair accessible. Burnt Oak station on the Northern line is nearby in this part of north-west London. There is no charge and no booking; the group is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.
