Likewise Supper & Stories: a free supper club in Camden
Supper & Stories is a free community supper club run by Likewise, a community centre for adults in Camden. Guests share a supper at the Likewise hub in Swiss Cottage (NW6), on Wednesdays from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, and book on Eventbrite (listing checked 13 October 2026). It is built around food, company and conversation.

We run Siena, a dinner with strangers in London every Thursday, so we compete with some of the services we review. We say where each one does better than us. Every fact about Likewise below comes from its own website or store listing, checked on the date shown and linked in the sources. If something has changed, tell us at hi@sienasociety.com and we will fix it.
Likewise is not a business like the other services we review. It is a community centre that offers free activities and support. We include Supper & Stories because it is a free, regular supper that any adult can book to meet people.

Where Supper & Stories beats Siena
- It is free. A Siena seat costs £12.99, plus your own food.
