Getting there
About this meeting
The Gay Mens Meeting runs every Friday at 6pm at St Annes Church on Dean Street in Soho. It is a closed Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, held for those with a desire to stop drinking rather than open to the general public, and is specifically aimed at gay men who may prefer to share within that setting. Soho's long association with London's gay community makes this a well-established fixture, and the Friday evening timing suits members heading into the weekend looking to ground themselves before it starts. Wheelchair access at St Annes Church has not been confirmed, so it is worth enquiring ahead if this matters to you.

Is the church wheelchair accessible
