Where to draw
Here is a collection of the life drawing events in the greater London area. This list was originally created by Roger (@rogerbdrawing). Thanks Rogger, this is really useful. Everyone's welcome to contribute. Add a new life drawing venue.

These models offer professional photographic references for purchase, and some host live online drawing sessions.
Attend in person
This is a curated list of various life drawing events in the greater London area. It is not all of them, I wish it was. Running a small drawing community is hard work, this list is for hosts of small drawing communities, it does not list Art institutions and commercial drawing businesses. This list only covers the small passionate groups.
