Chat with people from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. UK Chat is for people from the UK. Pick a chat name, answer two quick questions and you're in. There's no email, no download and nothing to pay.
All users must be 18 or older and agree to our Terms of Use. Suspected underage users are removed. Report anything that breaks the rules using the tools in the chat.
Our UK chat rooms are for anyone in Britain or Northern Ireland, and anyone who likes talking to them. From London flats to Highland villages, it's a friendly place for a natter, a moan about the weather and a cup of tea, even if the tea is virtual.
You'll quickly notice the tone. There's plenty of dry humour, gentle sarcasm and an unshakeable belief that whatever the weather is doing, it's doing it wrong. Regulars come from every corner of the UK, so expect plenty of friendly arguments about accents, chips and gravy versus curry sauce, and the correct way to pronounce "scone".
Evenings from around 7pm until well after midnight are the liveliest, especially on Fridays and Sundays. Lunchtimes see a smaller crowd on their breaks. Late at night the room overlaps with Australian mornings, which makes for some entertaining comparisons of weather reports.
Ask "anyone from the north-east?" or "any Brummies about?" and you'll usually get a reply. Regional rivalries are part of the fun, so long as they stay friendly. Keep exact addresses and workplaces to yourself, and take your time before swapping numbers with anyone.
Plenty of people from the Republic of Ireland join in too, and they're very welcome. The room shares a time zone and a lot of the same TV, so conversations flow easily across the Irish Sea.
Block anyone who's rude and report anyone who harasses people or asks for money. If someone threatens you and knows where you live, contact the police and keep a record of the chat. Our safety tips page explains more.
For a wider crowd, pop into USA Chat or Australia Chat, or head to the main Free Chat Rooms lobby.
Is there a separate room for Scotland or Wales? Not yet. Everyone chats together here, and regional banter is half the fun.
