London CHE groups

CHE plastic bag with a list of London CHE groups and contact details, issued for London Pride 1979

A number of London CHE Groups were set up during the 1970s. by the Campaign for Homosexual Equality. Originally the idea was that each group should be no more than a certain size,and new groups were formed as new members joined CHE in London, without regard to geographical area. Later many of these groups renamed themeselves after an area, starting with Croydon CHE Group (London Group 7).

Some of these groups were listed in Out of the Shadows page 223 as existing in October 1976.
