About this meeting
City Lunch runs on Wednesdays at 12.30pm at the Artizan Street Library & Community Centre, 1 Artizan Street, near the eastern edge of the City of London, and lasts an hour - built for a working lunch break. It is a closed meeting, AA's term for one reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking or who suspect they might; newcomers are not just allowed but positively welcome. Anyone attending purely to support or observe should choose an open meeting. The same City Lunch group also meets here on Mondays and Fridays. The centre is wheelchair accessible, and the meeting is free with no booking or referral of any kind.
