About the event

***16 WOMEN BOOKED ALREADY - BOOK NOW***

Quiz dating is a unique concept dating and it's exclusive to Original Dating. We've taken classic speed dating format and combined it with the humble pub quiz to make one of the most fun and innovative ways to meet people.

We divide the group into teams of guys and teams of girls. The female teams compete in the quiz whilst the teams of guys rotate around the room after each round of questions, helping each team of girls as they go.

All the girls get to meet all the guys and you get to use our unique online matching and messaging system after the event to message the people you matched with on the night.

There's a prize for the winning team and because it's a group-dating format there's less pressure than with one-on-one speed dating. Book now, we're sure to sell out!

  Great event. Our table stayed right together right to closing time, we had a great connection and perfect time no other dating site or provider could have ever given us.

  Very interactive event, much better then normal speed dating. Our host Arthur was nice and friendly. The setting is too compact and people leave too soon. I've been to this place years ago, you guys need a bigger place some day. Why is it that dating events always have to be so secluded?

Hi Fahim, certainly some interesting feedback for us here. We'll be sure to look into the points you raise. Glad you enjoyed overall.

  The idea is great. It breaks the ice by giving people something to do, but it's not so rigid that people don't have the space to just chat.

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.

 

London Speed Dating in Numbers

We've been collecting match data at London events longer than dating apps have existed. From the last 12 months of Original Dating London events:

  • The average speed dating night produces multiple mutual "yes" matches, plus a healthy crop of friend matches — over 7000 mutual matches across London events in the past year. 
  • Saturday is London's biggest night for speed dating; Friday nights in Soho run it close.
  • Our busiest single night of the year? Valentine's — nearly 400 singles at one party this February
  • Attendance at in-person dating events has grown year on year as app fatigue bites — our London singles parties now regularly sell 150–350 tickets.
