About this meeting
Let The Weekend Begin marks the end of the working week in the City of London: an open AA meeting every Friday at 6.30pm at St Mary Abchurch on Abchurch Lane, off King William Street - the entrance is round the side of the church. It lasts an hour, so you are done by 7.30pm with the weekend ahead. Being open, it welcomes people who have a desire to stop drinking along with family, friends and colleagues. The church is wheelchair accessible. The group also runs an online option on Zoom and can be reached by email for details. There is no cost and no booking; just find the side entrance and come in.
