About this meeting
Chingford Chip is a late-afternoon Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, held every Thursday at 4pm at St Anne's Church Centre, 200A Larkshall Road in Chingford, and running for an hour and a half. The earlier start suits people who prefer not to travel in the evening, including shift workers and parents working around school hours. It is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome, whether you have a desire to stop drinking yourself or you are a relative, friend or professional wanting to learn how AA works. The church centre is wheelchair accessible. As with every AA meeting, there is no charge and no booking; you can simply arrive and take a seat.
