  It was my first event. I enjoyed it..It would pf been a bit better organised with sign on the door to tell you it was a speedndating event. Water on the tables wouldmof been nicebto habe and more tables spaced out as people had to share tables.

  I had a nice evening overall and met some genuinely lovely and interesting people, which made the event enjoyable. The organiser was friendly and the format worked well. However, I did feel the venue was a little different from how it was presented online. The private room was much simpler and less atmospheric than expected, so it didn’t quite match the ‘best bar in town’ impression from the advert. That said, the people and conversations still made it a positive experience.

  First time experience and I, somehow found it stress free, guess I am just naturally comfortable talking to people due my 34 years experience of my job. If I don't find someone, I will try it again as it really was a fun night.

  The host was warm and helpful, the venue choice was super. Only one quibble: I joined the waiting list, and I wasn't notified of an available place. When I checked the site on the morning of the event, I saw there was availability and I booked it. But I would go again, absolutely.

  It was good to get talking to people but the rounds are far too short to allow you to make proper choices. An extra 5 minutes would be ideal, especially as it ended much earlier than advertised.

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.

 

And that's it. Simple? Yes. Fun? Most definitely. Great way to meet your perfect match? Without a doubt so book an event now and find out why the dating craze that started a decade ago is still going strong.
