WELCOME

What can we do for you?

London Milongas is an independent, curated guide to tango events in London. Its aim is simple: to provide a reliable, up-to-date picture of all of the London tango scene in one place. If you want to dance tango socially in London and up to 100km away, this site is for you.

What makes London Milongas different from other directories:

Our listings are curated directly rather than relying primarily on user-generated submissions. We offer a full overview of the events that will happen, not just those from milonga organisers who are proactive and good at social media.
Listings are individually researched from organiser announcements, venue information and other public sources. We check directly with milonga-organisers, and update frequently when new information becomes available.
We are an independent project and are not affiliated with any particular tango school, organiser, teacher or venue. We’re independent and not on commission.
We arrange our listings by proximity to central London – respecting actual travel decisions.
We only list social dancing events, not lessons. If you come along at the times we list, you can dance straight away, no waiting for lessons to end.

While no event calendar can guarantee absolute accuracy, every effort is made to keep information current and reliable. We check directly with all the milonga-organisers to make sure we’re accurate.

In the same spirit, we do not recommend any particular events. The right milonga for you will depend on where you’re based, your skill level, and what music or ambience you’re looking for. And, of course, we don’t know which events your friends are planning on attending. However, each of our event pages have weblinks to the organiser’s page, so you can find more information.

While we’re mainly here for the social dancer, in tango, the learning never ceases. We won’t recommend classes or teachers, but we have put together a page with the contact details of the best known tango teachers in London.

Best wishes from all of the London Milongas team

Our Mission

London Milongas is an independent, community-run project maintained by experienced members of the London tango scene.

We do this for the love of tango, and to provide a service to the London tango community, so that information is spread efficiently about what’s on and when. It’s free and will always be free.

Coverage now extends to social tango events across London and up to 100km from Charing Cross, giving dancers a comprehensive view of the wider South-East tango scene.

If you’d like to get listings sent directly to you weekly via Facebook, please consider subscribing to o ur Facebook page.

Central London

If you’re an urban resident, or a visitor to the capital, we have all the milongas listed. This category broadly covers venues within TfL’s zones 1-2, so from Archway and Hampstead in the north to Brixton and Lewisham in the south.

Suburban London

There may be fewer big milongas in the suburbs, but there are lots of classes and practicas. If there is social dancing, we will list it.

Outside the M25

Why come into the capital at all, when so many great milongas are available outside, often with plentiful car parking! We list social dancing events up to approximately 100km from London, around 65 miles. As a rough guide, that covers the whole of the Home Counties, up as far as Oxford, Basingstoke and Cambridge.

The Team

The team behind this site is the same one as behind “Tomorrow’s Milongas – London”, and is comprised of:

Between us, we’ve too many years of dancing tango in London to remember, and we’re hoping for the same number again!
