In early 2010, the Slow Down London team launched an 8-week course to inspire, guide and support you in your pursuit of a slower life. The first slow club has now finished, but if you’d like to hear when we launch the next one, ‘Sign up for Slow News’ on the right-hand panel of our homepage.

If you join the Slow Club, each week we will send you practical tips you can incorporate into your everyday life and suggestions for playful experiences to help you slow down and enjoy the city. There’s a chance to join up with other Slow Club members for weekly activities such as a slow walk, a slow gallery visit and a slow food tasting. We hope that at the end of the course you’ll have a new, deeper appreciation of your life and London.
