Agora London
Agora is for thinking changemakers — for organisers, peacemakers, charity leaders, public servants, creatives, and anyone driven to make a positive impact in the world around them.
Together, we seek to think deeply and differently, inspire each other to action and have fun.

Why we come together
Inspired by the agoras of ancient Greece — places to gather, exchange ideas and share in the arts — we bring people together every couple of months in beautiful venues across central London.
Each gathering features an excellent speaker with something to share about making change, usually alongside art or music. But the real magic is in the conversations we have with each other: reflecting, questioning and discovering new perspectives.
There’s always a bar, and we book a pub for anyone who wants to carry on the conversation afterwards. The community also gets together for the occasional pub social, building on the relationships that begin at Agora.
You’re welcome to come to a single gathering. We’d love to welcome you into the community, too.
