About the event

Join us for our very popular monthly over-forties party in The City, Chemistry.

You’ll meet other singles over drinks. Aided and abetted by our effective icebreakers that always kick the evening into gear fast.

There are no terrible corporate awayday games, but we use icebreakers to ensure everyone gets to meet and speak to as many people as possible. They really work well.

Hosted in the gorgeous Refinery Bankside you'll be well looked after throughout the night.

After the event, simply head to our website to the profiles of everyone who attended. Select the people you liked, and our system will tell you who you mutually matched with shortly afterwards.

Continue the conversations with your matches and get planning your next date. It's a great way to connect whilst keeping your contact information private.

Chemistry is the perfect event to expand your social circle and meet like-minded people in London.

Tickets are limited and all previous events have sold out. Book your ticket now. You’ll be in for a great night out.

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

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.
