About the event

***OVER 100 PEOPLE BOOKED - BOOK NOW***

Chemistry is the new party designed for singles in their thirties and forties.

The formula is simple. We bring together 150+ people of a similar age under one roof and make it super easy to meet and speak to new people.

Everyone attending this party is single and looking to meet new people - and meet people they will.

We ensure there’s an equal male/female split and provide a fun icebreaker so it’s easy to meet plenty of people throughout the night.

Meeting people for the first time should be a fun, straightforward, and friendly experience and that is what Chemistry is all about. The emphasis is on friendliness, courtesy and the excitement that comes with meeting someone new.

Sign up alone, or with friends, it’s up to you. The Icebreaker will be on hand to ensure it is easy to mix and crucially meet people until you find (you guessed it) some Chemistry.

As with all our events, Chemistry features post-event online matching and messaging via our website making it super easy to connect with everyone you mutually matched with after the event.

If this sounds like the event for you sign up now, tickets are strictly limited.

Hi Kavi, thanks for your comments!

Amanda Verified Attendee
  Venue was nice and brilliantly well-located, lighting was good, free cloakroom super-useful. It would have been better to start earlier if possible...I and some others I spoke to were more tired than usual. We're too old to stay out past 9pm in this age group, y'know... ;) I would have appreciated a few more ways to get talking to people, as well as the lock and key. Maybe a couple of icebreaker games or something. Thank you.

Hi Amanda, thanks so much for all your feedback. We're super happy that you enjoyed the event overall. We plan to introduce lots of new icebreakers over coming events.

  Not too busy, good lighting, not too loud ... !! NB move the big central tables further apart, could not mingle in the middle of the bar.

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

HOW IT WORKS

Arrive from about 7pm and grab a drink — our host will check you in and hand you a scorecard. Once everyone's settled, the host explains the format and the dating begins: four to five minutes per date, girls seated, guys rotating, with a 15-minute breather at half time to top up your glass and compare notes.

After each date you make a quick private note: yes, no, or friend. Nobody sees your choices on the night — that's the point. When the formal dates finish, the room opens up and everyone mingles; ask any of our hosts and they'll tell you this is where half the real chemistry happens, so don't dash for the Tube.

The next morning, enter your ticks on our site and our matching system compares them against everyone else's. Mutual yeses become matches, and you can message each other through the site — no phone numbers or emails shared until you choose to.


When you get there

Doors open around 30 minutes before the start time on your ticket — arriving early gives you time to grab a drink, find your feet and say hello to your host, who'll check you in and get you set up. Everything you need is provided on the night; just bring your ticket confirmation and your best conversation.

First time? You won't be the only one — most people at any London event are speed dating first-timers, and plenty arrive solo. Our hosts have run hundreds of these nights and their whole job is making sure nobody feels lost. By your second date you'll have forgotten your nerves entirely.

Meet & Mingle

Why Londoners book with Original Dating

Original Dating was founded in London in 2003 by Andrew — back when speed dating was brand new and he was, in his words, just a boy. Twenty-three years later we're the capital's longest-established speed dating company and one of the largest in the UK, running around 500 events a year nationwide.

What that experience buys you: professional hosts (many of them trained actors) who actually run the room rather than reading a script; venues we've vetted personally; gender-balanced events with sensible age bands; a matching system we built ourselves; and a rematch guarantee we've

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.
