Heya,
I was just wondering if there was any trans support groups in London?
I've never been to one and I think it would be beneficial [emoji4]

I've been to FTM London a few times. It's a very friendly group; they let you mix first, then you usually sit in a group where you discuss the topic of that month; then you have a chance to go to a pub afterwards. For me though I find the group a bit too big so it's difficult to start talking to people. But there is a library for you to borrow books as well as them handing out secondhand binders.
There's also TAGS swimming group which is a swimming group for trans people; although I haven't been. There's also the Spectrum support group and London Friend; although I haven't been to those either.
If you have time and want to get a haircut I go to Barberette in Hackney which is a queer barbers. There's also Open Barbers; another queer barbers; which is more popular with trans masculine people.
Not sure if this will help but there's a new fb group called Non binary London as well.
Hope this was helpful :)

I'll have to talk to my staff about going but gosh it all sounds wonderful. Especially the trans barbers although I've never been to Hackney.
I'd love to get into the swimming group ovo
