About the event

We are super excited to be back in town for our Summer Singles Party not to be missed!

Following the success of our previous events in 2025, we are happy to once again be giving you the chance to meet and network with up to 80 singles, a fantastic way to meet new people this season!

We have an exciting night lined up at the stunning Arta and we would love for you to join us. We'll also have our signature lock and key icebreaker on hand to encourage you to connect with as many singles as possible.

For that slight extra motivation we are giving away prizes too! Yes, the more padlocks you unlock, the more chances you have to win one of our fabulous giveaways.

That's not all!

We are also excited to introduce something completely new - Original Dating's brand-new singles party experience: VibeChecker! Where you can choose to answer a series of fun, "Would You Rather" questions with each person you meet - live, face-to-face. And Vibechecker will instantly show if you vibe or not! 

The clever part is based on science and Vibechecker keeps track of your answers, building a little picture of your personality as you go and you will be introduced to those most compatible by the end fo the night. It's a lot of fun, a great icebreaker, and you'll end up meeting loads of people and sparking some brilliant conversations. 

You can continue conversations to plan a date with singles post the event. 

Simply head to our website the following day to view a list of everyone that attended. Select the people you like and our system will tell you who you mutually matched with. 
Continue the conversations with your matches and get planning your date! 

Make this month a memorable one and book your ticket now!

  I really liked the format of the evening - creating a profile beforehand, matching after & the lock & key idea is a great ice breaker. It was a great evening , everyone was very friendly & I had a fantastic time!

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS
Trustpilot

Speed Dating in Glasgow, Scotland

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.
