[[File:LBG logo.gif|thumb|LBG logo]]'''London Bi Group''' (commonly '''LBG''') was the first modern social / support group for bisexual people in the UK.

Its first meeting was on 1st September 1981.  

For most of its life the group met at [[London Friend]], near Kings Cross station, with three spaces running in parallel - a coffee / talk space, a workshop space with specific topics each week, and a 'personal group' which allowed discussion of more personal issues.

The group organised the first [[BiCon]] conference, entitled ''The Politics Of Bisexuality'', in 1984, and also produced a newsletter [[Bi Monthly]] which became the main national news source for bi people, organisations and networks in the 1980s.  

Though the group closed down around 2003, a 30th birthday party formed part of the agenda of the 2011 [[BiCon]] recognising the importance of LBG in setting separate bisexual organising in motion.<ref>Reference needed</ref>

The website remained unchanged from the 2003 AGM until 2008 when it was updated to read "The London Bisexual Group is currently inactive, sorry,"<ref>http://londonbi.bi.tocotox.org/</ref> but provided a link to [[Bisexual Underground]]. The group was still, as of 2015, listed as a member of ILGA.<ref>http://www.ilga-europe.org/who-we-are/members. Accessed: 2015-10-13.
