About SLR London

SLR London is a non-profit, member-run community organization located on Western Road in the University Heights neighbourhood. It serves retired or semi-retired individuals aged 55 and older who are interested in lifelong learning and social engagement. The organization describes itself as a welcoming and friendly environment where members can share thoughts, ideas, and experiences to make retirement meaningful and fun. The organization offers several learning components based on a peer learning and peer teaching model, which features no grades, exams, or competitions. Study Groups meet weekly for two hours over eight to ten weeks to explore topics such as history, the arts, sciences, politics, philosophy, and geography. Activity Groups focus on hands-on learning in areas like art, writing, photography, digital technology, hiking, and local tours. Discussion Groups provide a roundtable format for topics ranging from current events and book clubs to municipal elections. Additionally, members can join Interest Groups, which function like clubs for activities such as choir, ukulele, meditation, and cinema outings. SLR London is a registered charitable organization sponsored by the Westminster College Foundation. It emphasizes camaraderie and active participation, encouraging members to share what they know or discover with others. Programs are led by volunteer class leaders or members with specific expertise. Members can participate in sessions held online or in person at Grosvenor Lodge.
