knitters in london, what's up

I recently moved from Houston, Texas, to London (by recently i mean like three days ago lmao). I am so excited to finally live in a place where i can actually wear the garments i knit!

I'm looking for recommendations for best yarn shops, knitters meetups and any other resources or groups where i can make like-minded friends. i'm an elder millennial, i've been knitting since i was a teenager, and right now I am staying in south kensington while we look for a permanent place. we will likely stay in zone 1-2, and i am also super excited about exploring the british isles so notable shops in other regions are welcome as well

my rav link is here tho not super updated with recent projects
