A New Way to Meet New People in London

Even though majority of London population is young adults, forming meaningful connections can be surprisingly hard. Especially if you moved to London without an initial social circle, making friends can be extremely difficult! It's no secret that Londoners, although polite, are not always keen on establishing friendships with strangers on the fly. Therefore, if you are looking to find your tribe, you’ll have to be proactive, resilient and have a lot of patience.

That's where BesidesWork steps in – a new platform with a goal to bridge the gap between individual interests and community groups. After exploring many events and workshops we realised something. It not only makes it easier to strike a conversation with someone when you're both involved in a common activity, but also allows your personality to shine through quicker. This is where the journey of BesidesWork started.

The Story Behind BesidesWork

BesidesWork was born out of a simple yet powerful idea – to bring people together through shared passions. Our platform is more than just an activity booking marketplace. Also, unlike many alternative solutions in this space, it's not just another friends making app. We want BesidesWork to be your go to place for new experiences and friendships.

In fact, our journey began with a simple question: "How can we make it easier for people to pursue their passions and meet like-minded individuals?". Londoners love to complain how busy their lives are, making convenience our key focus. Fortunately, the solution was clear: build a platform where attending fun activities is easy, and making new connections becomes natural. In the end, even if you don't find a friend you click with straight away, you'll still have a great time doing an activity you enjoy!

Meet New People That You Connect With Naturally

This is how BesidesWork is becoming your one-stop shop for many different activities. Whether you identify as an artist, a yoga enthusiast, a culinary explorer, or someone just looking to try something new, we've got you covered. Our upcoming platform is intuitively designed, making it easy for you to browse, book, and dive into your next adventure.

As a result, our concept takes the pressure out of meeting new people. We believe a huge part of social anxiety stems from the pressure of expectations. Belonging is a basic human need that we all crave. However, the only way to find your tribe is to be your authentic self. That is why with our approach, you're engaged in a fun or novel activity, naturally showcasing your real self. So, forget the stress of wondering how to present yourself, just relax and let your true self shine!

 

More Than Just Activities – It’s About Community

At the heart of BesidesWork is a commitment to building a supportive and inclusive community. We believe that shared experiences build a strong foundation for lasting friendships. People form strong bonds by overcoming mutual challenges and hardships. Therefore, our platform is not just about attending a class or an event; it's about the connections you make and the community you become a part of.

The way we see it, BesidesWork gives you a dual incentive to do more with your life. Here you can pursue your passions and meet new people at the same time. In a city where we do everything in a rush, such convenience is a number one thing that helps us have a balanced life.
