About this meeting
Stoke Newington Keep It Simple meets on Wednesday evenings at 7pm at St Michael's Church on Fountayne Road. In keeping with its name, the group favours plain, direct sharing over lengthy literature study, which can make it an approachable choice for newcomers as well as more established members. It's a closed meeting, for AA members and anyone with a desire to stop drinking, rather than an open meeting for visitors. St Michael's Church is wheelchair accessible, and attendance chits can be signed here for anyone who needs proof for court, probation or a treatment programme. Fountayne Road sits within the Stoke Newington part of Hackney, close to local bus routes.
