Welcome to Rooted Again London!
We're so glad you're here. Before joining our WhatsApp community, please take a moment to make sure this is the right fit.
Is This Community For You?
Rooted Again London is specifically for women who have relocated to West London and are rebuilding community after a major life transition.
You're in the right place if:
✅ You've relocated to London (from another country OR from within the UK)
✅ You live in or near West London (Ealing, Chiswick, Acton, Hammersmith, Fulham, Kensington, etc.)
✅ You're looking for genuine connection, not networking or business promotion
✅ You're ready to engage authentically and support other relocated women
This might not be the right fit if:
❌ You're looking for business networking or client leads
❌ You're based outside West London with no plans to attend in-person meetups
❌ You're looking for a general London social group (not relocation-focused)
❌ You haven't yet relocated to London (come back when you're here!)
