Everyone is welcome at Central London Toastmasters club!

It's time to enhance your public speaking skills and become the charismatic speaker you have always wanted to be. Impress your work colleagues with your smooth and polished presentation skills. Amaze your friends with your newfound confidence and storytelling ability.
As the premier weekly public speaking club, Central London Toastmasters is a great and relaxed way to start public speaking.
The meetings are very friendly, informal and a fantastic place to start your public speaking allowing your confidence to grow. We have many members who were anxious at their initial meetings, but now talk with total confidence. If you come along as a guest, you can chat to them, you will also see how warm and welcoming the club is.
