South London

Meet new people in Lambeth

Lambeth stretches from the South Bank, opposite Westminster, down through Brixton to Streatham and West Norwood. It has some of London's best-loved venues and parks, and a lot of people who moved here recently and are still building their circle.

PingMee helps with that part. Post a status saying what you're up for (a swim at Brockwell Lido, a film at the BFI, food in Brixton Village), see who's around in Lambeth right now, and send them a ping. If they ping back, a private chat opens for the two of you. It's for new friends, relationships and networking, and it's free.

Good places to meet people in Lambeth

The South Bank

The riverside walk from Westminster Bridge past the London Eye is public, busy and full of free things to stop at.

Brockwell Park

Big, open and hilly, with views back over the city: an easy first meet-up in daylight.

Clapham Common

Wide open space with cafés on the edges; busy on any sunny day.

Brixton Village

Covered market arcades full of small places to eat, so nobody has to choose a restaurant in advance.

BFI Southbank

Seeing a film is a low-pressure plan, and the riverside bar is a good place to talk about it afterwards.

Kennington Park

A local park with gardens and a café, a short walk from the Tube.

Regular things on

Brockwell parkrun

A free, timed 5k on Saturday mornings. Plenty of people stay for a coffee afterwards.

Swimming at Brockwell Lido

Regular swimmers are a friendly crowd, and early mornings are when the regulars are there.

Gigs at the O2 Academy Brixton and Electric Brixton

Two of London's best-known venues, both a short walk from Brixton station.

Free things at the Southbank Centre

The foyers are open to everyone, often with free music and plenty of people working or meeting friends.

You choose whether you appear to people nearby, and you can block or report anyone.
