Local: There are about a dozen independent LETS groups in London. Click the relevant logo on the map page - each scheme has its own local character, website, and joining procedure - some have restricted geographical access, but there is no reason why you should not join more than one eg, where you live, where you work, and London-wide for access to more specialised services.

London-Wide: LETSlink London is the only formal regional networking service in the UK, and we are now supporting new LETS groups in the two-thirds of boroughs in London lacking an independent group, all sharing a common currency with London-wide LETS.

To join by post, please send £10 if you are an individual (or £25 if you are an organisation), or any amount, which will be exchanged as "links" into your account, to Letslink London, 12 Southcote Road, London N19 5BJ with your address, phone number and e-mail address and tell us what goods and services you would like to offer in the scheme, and if you have any urgent requests. You can now also join online, either London-wide, or in your own borough, where we are building up a network of contacts to facilitate you in managing your online account - please click on your local borough link on the map page.

LETSlink UK is a coordinating and advisory service founded by Liz Shephard in April 1991: they hold details of all known LETS groups in the UK - contacts are available via www.letslinkuk.net. For a basic booklet please send £1.50 as a cheque or stamps. For the Info-pack on how to start a group, send £10 plus £3 P&P. Group Membership is £25 per annum, to Letslink UK c/o 12 Southcote Rd, London N19 5BJ.
