Oval St Marks meets on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm at St Mark's Church, opposite Oval Underground station on Kennington Park Road, and lasts an hour. Doors open at 7pm, giving people time to arrive and settle before the meeting proper begins, and entry is through the side door. The room is reached by a large flight of stairs, so it is not currently step-free, which is worth knowing if you have mobility needs. It is an open Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, so anyone is welcome, whether they have a desire to stop drinking, are a family member or friend, or attend for professional reasons. There is no cost involved and no need to book a place in advance; simply arrive at the side door from 7pm.
