A good meetup is low-friction: an easy place, a clear time, and one link to share. In London you have no shortage of casual venues. Put the details on a free event page and let people RSVP from their phone, no account needed.
London has an active meetup culture thanks to its global business links and enormous range of historic and modern venues. Relaxed spaces in Shoreditch and the City, from cafe back rooms to co-working lounges, make it easy to gather a community regularly without a big budget.
RealEvents is free for free events, with no subscription. If you sell tickets, fees apply only to tickets sold - never to RSVPs, never to free events. You do not need an account to create or join events. There are no platform algorithms deciding who sees your event. You simply create a page, get a link, and share it however you want.
Yes, that is the whole point. Attendees just enter their name and email on your event page. No account creation, no app download, no friction. This means higher RSVP rates because there is nothing standing between interest and registration.
Your private manage link shows you a live list of everyone who has registered, including their names and email addresses. You can check it anytime from any device to see your current headcount.
