Join the London Forum

Amenity and civic societies and residents’ associations

Over 100 societies covering all parts of London are voting members of the London Forum.  More members are welcome because it helps to strengthen the voice and representation of the civic movement across London.  If your organisation is interested in membership, please Contact Us or email the membership secretary. Membership is based on a calendar year during which members will receive the ‘Insights’ and weekly news emails, and invitations to 3-4 open meetings. The annual subscription is based on society size and the current rates are:

  • under 100 members £19
  • 101 to 400 members £28
  • 401 to 1000 members £45
  • over 1000 members £68

Individual membership

If you think that the work being done by the London Forum is interesting and worthwhile, why not become an individual member? For an annual subscription of £10 you will receive the Insights and news emails and be able to attend meetings, contribute to campaigns and policy statements.  Please Contact Us or email the membership secretary.

Trustees and Expert Assistance

Do you have background knowledge of planning or transport or environmental or heritage issues?  London Forum is run entirely by unpaid volunteers and we always have a need for people who can help to analyse policy documents and prepare responses and submissions to official inquiries and consultations.  If you can help with this, or on any of the wide range of subjects the London Forum covers, please Contact Us or email the Chair. We would particularly like to hear from people interested in helping with communications, writing articles, social media and website management.
