Welcome to Original Dating the home of alternative dating events. Why do you think we're called ORIGINAL, because we're at the forefront of alternative dating events in London, launching world first after first.
Our alternative dating events are designed to give you an innovative way to meet new people in London - just a little different to our standard speed dating format. We create positive atmosphere with the intention to enhance your dating experience.
The term 'dating events' can be limiting. If it wasn't so wordy, I would prefer to use 'social events for single people' because that’s exactly what they are. Our fantastic range of alternative dating events ensure you'll meet a lot of single people in one night but more importantly have an incredible night out in the process.
Our alternative dating events include Dating Against Humanity, Dating Bingo, Ping Pong Dating and Quiz Dating with more arriving this year. Unlike other company's offerings, our events work and are hugely popular!
