Next Tuesday 22nd September we’re putting on a special last minute event to raise some money for this vital project. We’ve reached out to Social friends and family and are delighted to have the following special guests joining us for a evening of talks and conversation, and no small amount of music and drinking. Tickets are a tenner… they’ll be a few more chances on the night to give more with special drinks offers, and an amazing raffle including artwork, festival tickets and more.
Arrive early as the night will be introduced by Caitlin Moran (author, columnist and one of the people behind the hugely impactful charity release ‘Help Is Coming’) and John Niven (author of Kill Your Friends, long time Social barfly). Also talking on the night – the legendary Viv Albertine and the UK’s greatest beer writer, Pete Brown, who will give a masterclass on the brown stuff from behind the upstairs bar.
Later on, the Social will do what it does best – put on the very best music on offer anywhere the capital on both floors of the venue. Expect music from Dexy’s Midnight Runners’ iconic frontman Kevin Rowland; Hot Chip genius Joe Goddard; Bristolian legend and all-round top bloke DJ Die; producer, remixer and writer extraordinaire Andrew Weatherall; Turner Prize winning artist Jeremy Deller; illustrator and smooth music aficionado Pete Fowler and R&B and psych crate diggers In The Light Of Aquarius.
Doors 6pm-1am - talks from the off so dont get there late please!
Stay tuned for more music and literary announcements via Social media (twitter thesociallondon / facebook.com/Thesocialw1).

The Social x
In 1999 The Social opened in Little Portland Street. The brainchild of a record company whose offshoots included a hugely successful underground club night, The Social was set up with a simple manifesto – to provide great music and better booze to anyone who fancied tripping through the doors.
15 years later and still run by the original team who created it – Heavenly Recordings & The Breakfast Group – the bar is an award winning London institution. Designed back then by a partnership of David Adjaye and Will Russell (now of Pentagram) with the proviso of withstanding nuclear attack or – at the very least – the worst that people could chuck at it, The Social has launched over a million hugely successful hangovers.
