Sobre este lugar London Friend

The London Friend was founded in 1971 as a splinter of the Gay Liberation Front, aiming to provide non-political peer counselling to men and women (and, from the late 1980s, trans people) who were coming out or in distress. It is the oldest LGBTQ+ counselling and support organisation in the UK and one of the oldest anywhere; it has operated continuously for 54 years. The organisation runs face-to-face counselling in Kings Cross, phone and email support lines, drug and alcohol support (the Antidote programme, launched in 1997), women's services (Kite programme), trans peer groups, and a range of social meet-ups. It is fully accredited as a counselling institution and largely funded by NHS commissioning and public donations; all services are free to users. Since 1985 London Friend has occupied a nineteenth-century townhouse at 86 Caledonian Road, five minutes north of Kings Cross station. The building — small, four floors, a garden — hosts twelve counselling rooms and the organisation's modest administrative office. The scale is deliberately domestic; the counselling model is home-scale, not clinical. Open Monday-Friday 09:00-21:00 for drop-in reception; counselling and support-line schedules vary. Full details at londonfriend.org.uk. Not primarily a museum stop but a living LGBTQ+ institution whose 54 years of continuous operation is the heritage. Kings Cross Underground is 400 metres south.

Absolutely useless service. Had one counselling session and had to cancel as it was just a waste of time and money. They won't help me. I would be better off talking to a dog and that would probably made me feel better than talking to them.
