About this meeting

City Promises meets on Wednesday lunchtimes at St Margaret Pattens Guild Church on Rood Lane, off Eastcheap, starting at 12.30pm and lasting an hour. The name echoes the Promises, the well-known passage from the Big Book describing what recovery can bring. It is a closed meeting, so it is reserved for people who have a desire to stop drinking - including anyone quietly questioning their drinking for the first time. Family, friends and professionals are asked to attend an open meeting instead. Wheelchair access at the church has not been confirmed. There is no cost and no booking; plenty of people simply slip out of the office and drop in.

Common questions

Can I come if I've never been to AA?

Yes. The meeting is closed, but that simply means it is for people with a desire to stop drinking - first-timers are exactly who it is there for.

When and where does City Promises meet?

Every Wednesday from 12.30pm to 1.30pm at St Margaret Pattens Guild Church, Rood Lane, Eastcheap, in the City of London.

Is there a charge or any paperwork?

No - the meeting is free, and there is no booking, referral or registration of any kind.
