CHEMISTRY: THE MIXER PARTY FOR SINGLE OVER 40s 

If you’re tired of endless swiping, awkward apps, and events that don’t deliver, Chemistry is for you.

Held at some of London’s finest venues, Chemistry is a vibrant, welcoming singles party created exclusively for people who are serious about meeting someone special – without the pressure.

✨ What to Expect

Up to 100 like-minded singles, carefully balanced by gender
🍸 Stylish Central London venues – perfect for relaxed conversation
🎤 Engaging ice-breaker games hosted by our expert tea
🧠 Smart matching after the event – only mutual likes lead to contact

No awkward intros. No speed dating. Just good conversation, a great atmosphere, and the chance to meet someone who gets you.

❤️ Why It Works

Chemistry is designed for singles in their 40s and 50s who know what they want – and who don’t want to waste time. We take care of the setting and introductions so you can focus on enjoying the evening and making real connections.

Our guests tell us they feel more relaxed, more open, and more themselves – which makes all the difference.

“A brilliant evening – classy venue, fun format, and I actually met someone I clicked with. Highly recommended!” – Sarah, 47

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS
Trustpilot

HOW IT WORKS

The beauty of Speed Dating London lies in its no-nonsense approach. You take an equal number of single girls and guys, put them in a room and give them a few minutes to chat with every other member of the opposite sex.

When you get there

Original speed dating events in London normally begin at 7.30pm. You will need to register with our hosts and to begin with they will issue you with a score sheet. This will help you to keep track of the singles that you would like to meet again and perhaps go on a date with. After a short period of mingling, your host for the evening who will run through detailed instructions and give you your starting position if you are a guy or table for the event if you are a girl.

Meet & Mingle

A London speed dating event is split into two halves, each lasting around an hour, there will be an interval at half time of about 15 minutes for speed dating London. You will have between 4 and 5 minutes with each person, after which you need to tick a box on your score sheet - "yes, I would like to meet this person again" or "no. Thanks but no thanks". Or "friend" if you'd like to get to know them platonically. Make sure that you do this after each date to keep track. Afterwards there is an opportunity for everyone to meet and mingle informally - this is often where the real action begins, so make sure you don't disappear too quickly!

Complete your score sheet

After the event you simply tick who you liked on the Original Dating website and the site works about your matches automatically. If the dates you have ticked as a "yes" have reciprocated you have a match. You will be able to view the first names and message them via our site online without revealing your email address until you are ready to. You'll be having proper first dates in no time.
