PhD Study Groups London

Hi all, I'm a mature student (30) currently studying remote for a PhD. I'm based in London and finding it a bit isolating working alone at home and in libraries on my own. Was wondering if anyone is part of/knows of any study groups, preferably for PhD students/mature students? Would be nice to be able to go to the library and have a break/lunch with others or just check in with someone as an accountability buddy.
Cheers!

Hey, I’m also a mature student, studying remotely from London. I share your experience! Interested in discussing working from libraries together etc, as you suggest. I’m new on this so can’t message privately, but drop me a line!

Hi Oscar, I totally agree with you and think this a common feeling amongst PhD students.

Sorry, only just seen this! Also unsure of how to DM on here, what's the best way of contacting?

hi, i'm a lecturer but interested in joining a group like this. I'm also based in London. Ideally I'd like to meet up regularly in central London, maybe at a library, and write in each other's presence for accountability. Send me a message if anyone would like to do this.

Hi jamjams, keen on this, will DM you.
