A chance to get together and share stories of past trips and scheme future adventures. We have a range of events across the year, with our main events being our 'At Homes' hosted at the Alpine Club lecture room (55–56 Charlotte Road, Shoreditch, London, EC2A 3QF).
These At Homes were first established in 1953 by our club as an 'experiment' to "discuss your last plan and next holiday and to lecture your fellow members with slides or films or without either on some subject of mountaineering". We are proud to continue this tradition and welcome new ideas from members and suggestions of guest speakers you'd like to hear from. Email ideas to Dee Dee at social.sec@londonmountaineeringclub.com
At each At Home, there are very (very) reasonably priced drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic). Please do bring along interested friends and family members - it's a great way to introduce new and prospective members to the club.
There are 8 mountains higher than 8000 metres in Nepal. This evening, Tony Hamza will tell you about journeys to their base camps and show a video of his final destination in the Everest region.

This year our LMC Christmas Party is going to be bigger than ever! We are in the beautiful Crypt on the Green (don't worry it won't be set up like a wedding!)
We have a ceilidh band made up of LMC members, which is absolutely not to be missed. Here's a taste of the music if you've never been to a ceilidh before. (Dancing not compulsory! ) We'll be doing food for everyone, a big curry or chilli. There will be drinks flowing for the night to buy from the bar. Come and relax, have a drink and some food, a dance if you feel like it, and catch up with friends about the year's mountain adventures (or start scheming next year...!).
Partners and guests are all welcome, just add them as a guest as you would for a meet.
Booking closes the week before so we can cater for the right number of people.
Emma Twyford is the first British woman to climb 9a (Big Bang), made the first female ascent of Yma O Hyd (E10 7a), and spent over 10 years on the GB climbing team.
Arrival from 6.30pm. Talk from 7.45pm.
Bea Barnes - Bea will be talking about gear and how to plan for solo wild camping and multiday hikes. She has completed numerous solo treks in the Scottish Highlands including walking the 230mile Cape Wrath Trail twice and the West Highland Way in Winter.
Laurence Mitchell - The Misty Isle never fails to deliver epics (when it's not raining - as well as sometimes when it is) and this year was no exception. A midweek heatwave sandwiched between Hebridean mizzle demanded being capitalised on, and the drizzly days provided plenty of opportunities for coffee, cake, culture and contrast therapy in Skye's two new seaside saunas!
Arrival from 6.30pm. Talk from 7.45pm.
