Hobbies to make new friends in London

Have you just moved to London? Or maybe you are just looking to make some new friends. Hobbies are a great way to do something you enjoy, spend your free time doing something fulfilling (yes it's time to turn off Netflix) and meet new friends. 

There is so much on offer it can sometimes be daunting and difficult to know where to start so here is list of 10 hobbies for people wanting to make new friend in London:

1. Paddle board along the Thames - a great way to see the sights of London, stop off at a riverside pub and try not to fall in! There are paddle board hire shops popping up everywhere - google your closest. 

2. Padel - think part tennis, part squash, part pickle ball - a fast pace racket sport that is growing in popularity across the country!

3. Rollerblading - get some skates in Hyde park or even an indoor roller disco. 

4. Pottery making and painting 

5. Trying new street foods spots

6. Horse riding - much easier than you think in London! There are stables all over the city. 

7. Open water swimming in the Thames

8. Sign up for a meditation course

9. Art classes 

10. Play in a mammoth sports league.

If you have an existing passion you want to explore or want to try something completely new it can be difficult to find like minded people, that are local to you, to share your hobby with.
