About this meeting
The Kitchen Meeting at Hornsey Rise takes place on Thursday evenings at 6pm in the Purple Room at St Mary's Hornsey Rise on Ashley Road. The informal name suggests a relaxed, conversational tone, with the emphasis on open sharing rather than a fixed piece of literature. It's a closed meeting, for AA members and anyone with a desire to stop drinking, rather than an open meeting for visitors. St Mary's Hornsey Rise is wheelchair accessible, and attendance chits can be signed here for anyone who needs proof for court, probation or a treatment programme. Knowing to look for the Purple Room specifically will help once you're inside the building.
