About Us

our mission

It can be hard to find friends in London, and online gaming is not always the most inclusive environment for LGBT+ players. We aim to provide a better choice, a place where people can be themselves and find like-minded people to play with. Today we stand at more than 2,500 members – but the quest is just beginning.

Gaymers iNC. is a non-profit group and everything we earn is reinvested in consoles, equipment and throwing great events for our members. The admins do not take a penny for themselves. We run these events for the sheer love of gaming – and that’s a promise.

our events

monthly meet-up

We put out about 20 TVs and consoles at our big meet-up, with plenty of multiplayer games such as Super Smash Bros. and Just Dance so you can show off your moves. Our big meet-up is the third Wednesday of every month – check the calendar to find out when the next one is!

our history

Gaymers iNC. was founded in 2015 by a group of friends who would meet at home in Clapham, London to play videos games together. We quickly realised that games were a great way to bond – and the perfect ice-breaker for newcomers to the group. LDN Gaymers was born!

Word spread and the group grew and grew – so we made it our mission to welcome all of London’s LGBT+ gamers into the fold. Today we’re Gaymers iNC. – come and play with us!

Meet the team

Your admin team is a disparate bunch of games-playing and lightsaber-toting lads from across the UK. Think of us as being akin to the Nazgûl. Except there are four of us. And we are eminently more powerful.

When you need help, we are there. When you need geek, we are there. When you need pizza, there is always the supermarket – but we will go with you. Whatever you need, give us a shout and we will be ready to fight your corner like Ryu facing off Zangief. I mean, who goes Zangief anyway?! Hadoken!
