About this meeting

The White House is a Thursday lunchtime Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Southwark, starting at 12.30pm and running for an hour and a half. The venue is out of the ordinary: a basement soup kitchen run by the Missionaries of Charity nuns at 112 St George's Road, with access via iron stairs on the outside of the building, so it is worth knowing before you arrive that the way in involves steps down. It is a closed meeting, meaning it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking; nothing else is required, and newcomers can attend from their first day without a drink. There is no cost and no booking, and the setting gives the meeting a distinctly grounded, no-frills character.

Common questions

How do I get into the meeting?

The meeting is held in the basement of the Missionaries of Charity building at 112 St George's Road, and access is via iron stairs on the outside of the building. Because entry involves external stairs down to a basement, it is not suitable for anyone who cannot manage steps.

Who can attend The White House?

It is a closed AA meeting, so it is for people who have a desire to stop drinking. That desire is the only requirement, and first-timers are welcome. Family and friends should look for an open meeting instead.

Is there a charge or booking?

No. Like every AA meeting it is free, and you attend simply by turning up before the 12.30pm start on Thursday.
