We are a book club, currently reading in South London and North London (but don’t worry East and West – we are coming for you as we grow!).
The book clubs meet on a monthly basis to discuss books by women, for women, but we are open to all.
Come and join us!

About
South London Feminist
Book club
Our South London Feminist Book Club is our longest running club and has just celebrated its second birthday!
We launched during the pandemic, back in the days when all socialising was through slightly awkward ‘get to know’ Zoom calls.
From there we have set up a network of genuine friendships, lots of book chat, author specials and some outrageous socials. Seeing book club members meet up in their own time fills us with joy, so if you’re looking for a sign to get back into reading or just want to meet some new friends in the Big Smoke, this is it.
If you are based in South London and would like to join, please email: southldnfembookclub@gmail.com to receive a monthly newsletter with all of our latest updates.
North
London Feminist
Book club
Our South London Feminist Book Club was being visited by Londers across the city, so after multiple requests, we have launched a North London Book Club.
NLFBC will operate in the exact same way as SLFBC does, we will meet on a monthly basis to discuss the same book, but just North of the river!
We plan to organise socials where both book clubs can come along, creating a feast for all feminists and a great opportunity to broaden your social circle.
If you are based in North London and would like to join our monthly book club, please email: northldnfembookclub@gmail.com, or you can follow our socials: @northldnfembookclub
East & West London Feminist
Book club
If you are based in East London or West London and are wondering why you are being left out, we haven’t forgotten about you and you are more than welcome to join either book club.
However, when the time is right we will launch our third and fourth book club completing the London Feminist Book Club family, but for now we encourage you to follow our journey and keep an eye out for future developments!
Membership
We feel so honoured that so many of you choose to come to our meetings every month and appreciate we run at very limited capacity, with tickets valued at £10 per person. So, we’d like to offer our regular members guaranteed tickets via a subscription service.
Three months: £30
Six months: £60
Twelve months: £120
Refund Policy
We are thrilled that we are growing so quickly, and our book clubs are now tending to sell out! Because of this we will be introducing a refund policy to make it fair for all.
If you cancel your ticket 7 days before the event, you will get a full refund.
Any closer to the event date, we will not be issuing refunds - as it is unfair to ask people to read at such speed!
Every month we have a waiting list of eager readers who missed out on a ticket, so it’s only fair we create some impetus to prevent those previous tickets going to waste.

Favourite book
This is a really difficult one for me, but I absolutely adored Little Prisons by Ilona Bannister and have recommended it to everybody in 2022.
Best talent
Is not being able to touch your shoulder a talent? It’s a long story…

Managing Director
Jo is an editor, writer and podcast host. Originally from Manchester, she has lived in London for six years and has an unhealthy obsession with her extremely naughty rescue dog Nora (@norapups). As well as reading, her hobbies include yoga, making espresso martinis and trying to convince herself that one day she’ll become a morning exerciser.
Favourite book
I’m sure it’s one I’m yet to read, but at the moment most probably Sally Rooney’s Normal People, the characters make my heart ache and jump in equal measures.
Best talent
Got to be the dance moves.
