About this meeting

This is a closed meeting, reserved for AA members and those who identify a desire to stop drinking, rather than being open to the general public. According to the group's own notes, the meeting is found down an alley between a KFC and a Wetherspoons on Clarence St, so it is worth allowing a little extra time to locate the entrance on a first visit. The venue is in Kingston upon Thames, postcode KT1 1QT. Wheelchair access has not been confirmed for this address, so anyone with mobility needs should contact the group in advance of attending.
