Local

Younger generations have found their own fun, but what keeps me here is different now: my friends, my friends’ babies, having a local, the fact that, after many years of not talking to whoever lived next door, I now know many of my neighbours.

Is "a local" a place to live in in the paragraph above?

Correct, Most British soaps have a local, because of its value as a place to get the characters together for a chat.
