About this event

Everyone is welcome at Central London Toastmasters club!

Come along and observe how the meeting is held (100% free).

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.

Online course

As part of the membership - there is an online course called Pathways. This will take you through each step of your public speaking journey.

Refreshments

Meetings are held thanks to the support of our venue, who serve a wide selection of drinks, including non-alcoholic.

Drinks purchased from the bar are allowed in the meeting.

Please be aware that food and drinks purchased off the premises are not permitted.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to speak at the public speaking class?

If you want - its up to you. The training is self paced, so you can speak when you are ready.

Do I need to prepare anything before coming?

Nope - just turn up

I’m terrified of public speaking. Is this event suitable for me?

Nearly all of our members were terrified of public speaking when they started. We start out easy, and as your confidence grows, you can take on more challenging roles - and when you are ready you can host the whole meeting!

I want to have the confidence to speak up in meetings. Is this training right for me?

Yes - the confidence you gain from this will affect all aspects of your life, including work, interviews, and your social life.

How often are the public speaking classes held?

Every Tuesday - the course is self paced, its up to you how often you chose to attend.

What is the setup

The club is part of Toastmasters which is an international organisation made up of volunteer clubs. Toastmasters has been training people in public speaking for over100 years!

Is it free?

yes - you can come as many times as you like (for free). If you chose to become a member, there is a fee, but its up to you! There is no hard sell - its a volunteer club so we are quiet relaxed.
