About the event

*** JUST 250 TICKETS AVAILABLE - BOOK NOW ***

It’s time for our summer boat party and this year we’ve pulled out all the stops to make this our most fun and sociable event ever. Welcome to the legendary ROCK THE BOAT party!

With 250 Londoners expected (50:50 male to female ratio guaranteed) this event is set to be a total blast.

Our three-hour afternoon party cruise is all about meeting people so we’re bringing along our lock and key icebreaker to get everyone mixing.

Meet people and seek out the key that fits your lock. When you find a match simply head over to our desk to enter the prize draw which takes place at the end of the cruise. We’ll give you a new lock or key and so the fun continues.

This icebreaker ensures you’ll meet a lot of people, so many in fact, you’re sure to meet a few people you want to see again.

You’ll drink, party and flirt as we cruise down the Thames. Starting at Temple Pier we’ll head up to Westminster before cruising down as far as The O2 and back.

We’ve hired London’s best party boat - The Golden Jubilee. A large boat with two bars and a huge sun deck, the perfect place for soaking up the rays and sipping on something cold.

This is going to be a party to remember and we expect it to sell out very fast.

Book now and we’ll see you on Saturday August 11th!

Thank you Stewart.

Holly Verified Attendee
  A few more activities would have been fun...It felt we were just left to our own devices which was fine but a few things to do and ice breakers would have made this a five star event! Otherwise I had a lot of fun and think this is a great idea!  
Posted: 12/01/2020

Original Dating reply

Hi Holly, thanks so much for your feedback. We're delighted you had fun but you're right, the main icebreaker at this event is lock and key. It's also possible to sign up for the speed dating for an added icebreaker.

  I enjoyed the speed dating, the hosts stuart and Joseph were lovely. The lock and key party was just okay the music was a bit too loud and some of the men were less approachable and arrogant. 3.5 stars overall

Emma Verified Attendee
  Good venue , good number of attendees however extremely expensive drinks  
Posted: 12/01/2020

Original Dating reply

Dear Emma, thanks for the feedback. We're sorry to see the price of drinks was an issue. We always choose our venues on the basis that their drinks costs are reasonable for the area but totally take on board The City isn't the cheapest spot in town. Most of our midweek event venues offer specials such as 2-for-1 cocktails if you'd like to attend again.

Virginie Verified Attendee

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.
