The format for speed dating events in London

On arrival at the venue our hosts will register you and supply you with a scorecard and pen along with your starting table number and a name badge.

After a brief introduction from our host the first date starts and the outrageous flirting begins! Each speed date lasts for around 4 minutes after which the end of the date is signalled by our hosts. The guys then move to the next table in numerical order. This process continues until the half time break.

After each date participants mark their date as either a 'yes' a 'no' or a 'friend' plus makes notes about them to help remember then the next day.

After the speed dating event most people stay for a few drinks with the other participants they have just met. This can be a great part of the evening so we really recommend you stick around. The morning following the event you simply log into our website and enter your preferences online. Your matches will be displayed over the course of the day. As not everybody enters their matches on the first day it's important to keep checking back!

That's a brief overview of our speed dating events in London. Speed Dating is a huge amount of fun and can really kick-start your love life - We hope to see you at an event very soon!
