About this meeting

Thursday evenings bring a Step One meeting to St James's Church in Clerkenwell, held in a basement room known as The Well. Running for an hour from six o'clock, it is an open meeting welcoming newcomers, visitors and members with an interest in exploring the first step in depth. The church sits on Sekforde Street, and the basement setting gives the session a quieter, more contained feel than a larger hall. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this basement room, so anyone needing step-free entry should check with the group before attending.
