As the sun set over the picturesque city of Munich, work turned into wunderbar for the Munich Italiani Group. Known for their exceptional Aperitivo events, the group hosted an Oktoberfest-themed afterwork party. The fusion of German tradition, Italian hospitality, mouthwatering cuisine, and our friendly members made this a treasured event.
It was clear that some attendees took the Oktoberfest theme to heart, as the table was adorned with dirndls and lederhosen. Without a doubt, the traditional Bavarian clothing added an authentic touch to the evening.
On the evening of 1 October, members of the Tokyo Japanese Conversation Group gathered around the garden terrace along the river of Toyosu for a soul-soothing evening that blended music, nature, and food.

On the same day, members of the London Photography Group went on a photographic adventure where vintage met funky fashion at The Classic Car Boot Sale at King’s Cross.
