Our Mission.

40% of people living in London aren’t actually from the United Kingdom… London is a global epicenter of the world and The Circle, London was founded to connect a wide range of people who now call London home.

The Circle, London’s mission is to bring community and connection across like minded individuals but with varied and global perspectives — all while welcoming people to show up authentically as themselves to create meaningful and real conversations.

Meet Alex

Born and raised in a small rural farm town in America’s midwest, Alex has a never ending curiosity to get out and explore the world and meet all of the people in it. From experiencing life on a small farm to living in one of the world’s largest cities, Alex realized we all aren’t so different from one another. We all seek community that inspires authentic and meaningful conversation. From wide and far, The Circle, London brings people together to share their experience of climatizing to life in London — the highs and lows and everything in between.

The Circle, London was born out of a journal entry in 2022. Alex was writing a stream of consciousness about the challenges of moving abroad. In that moment Alex had written out the idea for The Circle, London. In 2023, Alex launched this safe space for extraordinary individuals — looking to come together and connect in a supportive and collaborative circle — built on community, connection and authenticity.

The Circle, London isn’t a space for awkward networking. We prioritize real conversations around real topics — a community built by the community!
