The Branch runs classes and dances for beginners as well as experienced dancers. It holds regular dances, generally in St Columba's Church in Pont Street, London SW1. In addition, the Branch runs open air dancing sessions on some Saturday afternoons in September. These take place in Kensington Gardens, by the bandstand near the Round Pond; entrance is free.

Please note however that most of the dances taught by RSCDS are not the ones that you will encounter at the Scottish balls in London. Whilst therefore they are great fun, they are not a good preparation for the balls. Also, the RSCDS dances are more expensive than the other events on this page.

For further information, see the Branch website.

Note: the Wimbledon Reels website also lists 11 other RSCDS-affiliated groups and RSCDS branches in London and surrounding areas, which operate in different ways and are well worth a look (see here).

This club, located just off Berkeley Square, London W1, has reeling evenings on the third Wednesday of each month from September through to May. You do not need to be a member of the Club in order to attend, nor do you need to be accompanied by a member. All are welcome. For beginners and novices, there is general teaching and a 'walk through' of some of the more popular reels, starting at 7:00pm. This is followed by a meal at about 7:45pm. Reeling then starts again at about 8:30pm and continues until 10:30pm.

Most of the dances are the popular reels that are danced at the London reeling balls. These are the Eightsome, Foursome, Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Duke of Perth, Hamilton House, Inverness Country Dance, Machine Without Horses, Mairi's Wedding, Postie's Jig and the Reel of the 51st.

You don't need to come with a partner but you must notify the Club in advance if you wish to attend. There is also a dress code. The cost is £10.00 for members and £12.00 for non-members, which includes the meal, soft drinks and a glass of wine.

For more information, see the Lansdowne Club webpage. Although we have been asked not to include a link to this, it is easy to find. Go to the Club's home page, click on Events in the menu bar across the top, then select Reeling from the menu on the left-hand side.

This group meets every Tuesday throughout the year, from 7.30 pm to 10.00pm, at Trinity Church Hall, Mansel Road, Wimbledon, London SW19 4AA, a newly refurbished building with a sprung floor that is ideal for dancing.

Each evening costs £5, payable on the door. You can also sign up for a free newsletter. For details of how to subscribe, and for further information about Wimbledon Reels, see their website.

An added attraction of Wimbledon Reels is that you are likely to meet our President, Nicolas Maclean, and his wife Qamar there!
