Philosophy:

“I think it’s very essential that artists meet other artists… and we can have a good moan together.”

– Bob Godfrey, 2006

London Animation Club is a monthly event for animators and people interested in animation in the capital, created and curated by Martin Pickles. Club members and regular guests meet and present their work in informal surroundings conducive to talking and sharing ideas. Our guests range from well-known figures, such as Phil Davies, the producer of Peppa Pig, and Peter Firmin, the co-creator of Bagpuss, through to award-winning independent animators like Emma Calder, along with experimental filmmakers and academics, with much in between.

During Covid, the club moved to an online event, but this broadened its range and led to some exciting intercontinental link-ups. To keep the social side also going, we also introduced regular Zoom parties. In October 2021, we did our first face-to-face event since March 2020 and continued our live presence in 2022.

The live events generally take place at the Green Man, 36 Riding House Street, Fitzrovia.
