26F in London — looking to make some new friends :)

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m 26F and currently living in London. I’ve realised that making new friends as an adult is actually harder than I expected 😂
I’m hoping to meet some genuine, easy-going people to hang out with, grab a drink or coffee, go for walks, explore different parts of London, try new food, or just have random conversations about life.
I’m into books, music, films, walking around London, photography and a bit of philosophy/psychology. But honestly, I’m pretty open to trying new things!
Would be especially nice to meet other people around my age who are also new to London or just looking to expand their social circle.
If you’re in a similar situation, feel free to comment or DM me — tell me a little about yourself and maybe we can grab a drink/coffee sometime 😊
No pressure, just looking to meet some nice people and hopefully make a few genuine friendships!

Hi guys, trying this again lol

I did post a few days ago but I'm new here and don't quite know how Reddit works yet. I'm like a boomer in a young ish mans body when it comes to tech and new sites/apps 🤣 Anyway I'm Tom, 31 M, single and having a bit of a rough time of it recently so it'd be great to find some new friends and distract myself! I'll talk to basically anyone about anything so feel free to pop up. Nice one 👍

33F | East Anglia | Looking for a genuine friend to grab coffee and nonsense with

Hey everyone,

I’ve been living in the UK for a year now. Life here has been really good so far, but I feel like I'm missing a massive piece of the puzzle which is having my own close friends and that independent social connection. I’m really looking for someone I can meet up with, grab a coffee, go for walks, and just talk about absolutely nothing and everything for hours.

A bit about me: I’m originally from the Netherlands, but I’ve lived in the US and Japan before settling down here. I’m pretty easygoing, loyal, and fluent in sarcasm.

My interests are a bit of a chaotic mix. I’m a massive history and paleontology nerd (dinosaurs are great, let's be honest), but I also love the occult. When it comes to gaming, I mostly play *The Isle*, *Path of Titans*, and *Stardew Valley* so my vibe basically alternates between "viciously surviving as a dinosaur" and "cozy farming." Aside from that, I read, watch movies, collect stuffed animals, and have a borderline obsessive adoration for cows.

If you fancy a coffee, a wander around the lanes, or want to chat about gaming/history, drop a comment or send me a message. I'd love to connect!

Hiya! Looking for some nice people to talk throughout the days. I work in healthcare, enjoy gaming and all the usual social things like going for food and drinks etc. Pretty boring really 😅 but I am very chatty!

Oh and just looking for normal conversation… nothing weird 😝

39F UK | Friendship Applications Now Open

Hello everyone! I’m 39, female, and from the UK. I’m looking to make genuine friendships with people aged 39+ only.

A bit about me:

I play video games on PC and Xbox — I’m currently playing Palworld, Starsand Island, but I also like Assassin’s Creed and Tomb Raider and many other games. I’m open to most games, especially co-op, but I’m not really into competitive shooters.

I also love board games like Stardew Valley: The Board Game and Discworld: Ankh-Morpork.

Outside of gaming, I’m really into Space, History, Mythology, and learning in general. I can happily lose hours in Museums or Watching Documentaries on pretty much any topic.

Music-wise, I’m a big fan of 90s pop and rock, and I also love bardcore. I’ll give most things a chance, but rap and R&B aren’t really my thing.

I enjoy TV shows like Foundation, The Devil’s Hour, and even lighter stuff like 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown.

For movies, I like a mix of genres — The Matrix and A Fish Called Wanda are favourites, but I’m not into horror.

I also enjoy casual hiking (especially the Lake District), Crafts like Diamond Painting, Paint by numbers, and I’ve recently started Soldering.

Reading – If I get some free time, I enjoy getting lost in a good book (Ready Player One, The Lord of the Rings, and others).

What I’m looking for:

I’d love to find someone who actually wants to chat and get to know each other, rather than things stopping after a few messages or days. Maybe down the line we could play some games together or send the odd voice clip on Discord once we’re comfortable.

I’m only looking for friendship. I’m in a happy relationship, so I’m not interested in anything romantic or sexual.

You must be 39 or older. If you’re younger, I won’t reply. I’m only interested in talking to someone from the uk or usa.

If you think we’d get along, feel free to message me and tell me a bit about yourself.

looking for friends in london

Hey

20M looking to make some friends - I go to a london uni and would love to make some friends and hang out

Reply only if you think your up for going on walks, chilling in parks, playing board games or bowling and if your not too busy either

Not sure who this will reach - I'm not super desperate but felt like this summer I've spent too long inside my house doomscrolling and not really made the most of the last couple of month

I'm also going through a bit of a rough patch in my life (just got out of a relationship) so a fresh start and some new people in my life is probably what I need right now

To whoever reads this (if any) I hope I don't come across as a lonely weird guy - I just thought this might be a good place to start

Thanks for reading this

27M British, Looking for someone to share my experiences with.

Hi, my name is Charles, its the first time im doing one of these kind of posts, so here goes:

A bit about me:

Im currently a forensics student starting their 3rd year, i really enjoy my course and with any luck ill be doing a job working in a forensics lab or working on crime scenes, ive also done a good bit of biomed when I used to live up in Coventry ~2018. I love to hear about people's interests and aspirations, learning about people and their different backgrounds can be really exciting and you can learn so much too!

I have also got a lot of experience building computers and doing tech support as a freelancer, i really enjoy my computer games and have also spent a good time on discord too, though socialising on there can often go one way or another, things stick or dont last long at all. I'd love to be able to have someone i can watch movies with, play games together or just have good company with.

I really love my animals, ive had a lot of pets over the year and currently have a corgi, hes a little old man, but really sweet.

What im looking for:

I am looking for someone around the same age, ideally in the UK too, or Europe due to time zones. I'd really just like to have someone i can call and share my day with, whether it be a quiet time in each other's company or lots of yapping im not fussed. Tell me what interests you, what youre going through or if you just need someone there :)

I do like the idea of sleeping on call, I also like to read aloud too if that interests you. I mainly use discord or WhatsApp, id really love to get to know you.

21M — anyone into photography / photo walks around London? 📸

Hey, 21M here! Recently got into photography and thought it would be fun to meet some people around London who are also interested in photography or just fancy exploring somewhere and taking a few pictures
Thinking of doing a casual photo walk sometime maybe grab a coffee, walk around and experiment with some portraits/street photography.
I’m still learning, so nothing super serious 😅 Just looking to practise and hopefully make some new friends along the way.
If anyone’s interested, say hi :)

36 M UK

Hi! I’ve reached that very adult stage of life where making new friends seems to require either joining a running club or repeatedly kidnapping the same extrovert until they adopt you.

I’m happily partnered and purely looking for platonic friendships — ideally people who enjoy proper conversations, random messages and sharing the entirely unnecessary details of their day.

A bit about me:

- I work in the charity world, mainly around projects, systems, governance and solving problems that nobody realised existed until they became my problem.

- I speak Welsh and English, although sarcasm is probably my most fluent language.

- I’m into DIY, despite every job inevitably uncovering three more jobs beneath it.

- I enjoy gaming — mostly Call of Duty, played enthusiastically but without any troubling level of competence.

- I have a 1 year old dog, so a significant portion of my life is controlled by an intelligent, furry middle manager.

- I like cooking, gardening, fixing things, overly ambitious plans, good documentaries and dissecting the occasional organisational or political shitshow.

- I’m much better one-to-one or in small groups than in a room full of people competing to be heard.

I’m equally happy discussing something meaningful, helping untangle a problem, exchanging pictures of badly behaved pets, or receiving a message that simply says, “You will not believe what has happened now.”

I don’t expect constant replies or instant responses. Life happens, social batteries run out and sometimes a message gets mentally answered but never actually typed. I’m looking for the sort of friendship where that’s understood, but where both people still make an effort and gradually get to know one another.

If any of that sounds vaguely compatible, tell me something about yourself — or just tell me the most ridiculous minor inconvenience you’ve had this week. That’s usually a better conversation starter than “hey”.
