The WSG was formed in 1950 by a group of apprentice electricians from Willesden, "to propagate spelaeology both as a sport and a science, in the British Isles and abroad". It currently has about 100 members, drawn from all walks of life. Most live in or around London, or near to our cottage in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales.

If you are new to caving, or are thinking about joining the WSG, please look at the club events section to see what we are up to and when we are next meeting in London. The membership section also has lots of information that you will find interesting.

For other caving clubs or outdoor groups that wish to book our cottage located in the Brecon Beacons National Park, please see the Cottage bookings section.
