SE1 E23 - Invisible in the Crowd: Young Men & Urban Loneliness

Did you know about 12% of young Londoners (under 29) experience severe, frequent loneliness? That’s double the city’s average and far higher than older age groups 

Across the UK, those aged 16–29 are twice as likely to feel lonely often or always than those over 70 (9.7% vs 3.7%) 

You’re not imagining it: endless scrolling, watching everyone else’s “perfect” lives, it deepens the emptiness and chips away at your self-worth.

In a city that moves too fast, real human contact is rare, yet it’s the one thing that truly matters.

If you find it hard to open up, know there are spaces like Andy’s Man Club, with over 240 safe weekly meetups across the UK. You just show up, speak, or stay silent, and feel something powerful: it’s okay to talk, you’re not alone.
