Welcome to London Animation Club
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
The regular events take place at the Green Man, 36 Riding House Street W1W 7EP and special events at the Garden Cinema, 39-41 Parker Street WC2B 5PQ.

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