About the event

Are you looking for an easy way to meet new people? Well look no further than our new Ping Pong Dating event!

Mingle with 40-50 others in our privately hired bar whilst playing mixed doubles on not 1, not 2 but 3 Olympic standard Ping Pong tables.

When you're not playing there's plenty of time to chat and get to know your fellow ping-pongers over drinks at the bar.

At the end of the event we will all come together for a hilarious group challenge to cap off the night.

The next day you will have access to our bespoke matching system, simply tick 'yes' to anyone you'd like to see again, and find out who you matched with.

This really is the best new way to meet people and we guarantee you'll have a SMASHing time!

  Well organised, slick & ‘comfortable’ no embarrassment & nice to talk to people However the rooms acoustics are difficult & the overhead lighting VERY unflattering!!! The venue overall however is good

  Opportunity to meet people knowing they’re looking for their next relationship - in a casual, but structured session.

  Good event as usual, slightly too many men vs women ratio.

  The host was lovely and the venue was good in central location. Having intervals was a good idea, and also having pen and paper, plus the online option. All in all a well organised event and £6 cocktails deal was the cherry on top 😃

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.
