About this meeting

This Overeaters Anonymous group meets every Friday at 6pm in the Community Room at London Spitalfields Community Centre, on Hanbury Street in Tower Hamlets. Sessions work through the Big Book, with the format varying week to week. Finding it takes a little local knowledge: it's a 10 to 15 minute walk from Liverpool Street, and around 10 minutes from Aldgate East or Whitechapel. Look for the black gate next to the children's playground, go through, and the door is on your right. It resembles someone's flat but is genuinely a community centre. This is an open meeting, so anyone is welcome to sit in, whether you're new to OA, a returning member, or a supportive friend or family member wanting to understand more.

Common questions

Who can come to this meeting?

This is an open meeting, which means anyone is welcome — people who feel they eat compulsively, newcomers finding their feet, longtime members, and family, friends or professionals who want to learn about Overeaters Anonymous.

Do I need to pay or book a place?

No. OA meetings are free to attend and there's no need to book. Just turn up on Friday for the 6pm start. A voluntary collection may be passed to cover room costs, but you're never obliged to give anything.

How do I actually find the room?

It's inside London Spitalfields Community Centre at 103 Hanbury Street. Go through the black gate beside the children's playground and the door is on your right. It looks like a flat but it is the community centre — the Community Room is where you want to be.
