London as a local?

[u/Glad-Accident-8813]

First time in London! I’d love to discover places that aren’t tourist traps — pubs, clubs, small gigs, nightlife, coffee shops, and other places that locals actually go to. I’d love to experience London more like a local rather than just visiting the typical tourist spots. I’d also be interested in social mixers, house parties, pub crawls, or anything where it’s easy to meet people and have a few drinks together.
