About the event

20 GIRLS ALREADY BOOKED FOR THIS EVENT - BOOK NOW GUYS!

Saturday nights are made for speed dating in The West End. You’ll meet around 15-20 people during this event, each one for just four minutes. The perfect length of time to decide if you’d like to see someone again and not too long if you don’t. It’s a simple and exciting way to meet a lot of people in one fun night.

The next day you'll find out who you mutually matched with either on our website or via our unique mobile app, Mixeo. Get in touch again via our private messaging system and you'll be meeting again for real dates in no time.

Our venue, Black and Blue is located just north of Oxford Street, a short walk from Oxford Circus Station. It’s a great spot if you want to make a night of it as the bars and clubs of Soho are minutes away.

Expect to meet a fun crowd at this event. We think you’ll be amazed how sociable Londoners can be and be left wondering why you never tried speed dating sooner. Sign up now!

HI David, thanks for the lovely feedback.

Etan Verified Attendee
  Nice crowd! I'd still prefer at least 1 more minute per date, but otherwise I thought it was good! I thought the venue was great because a) it was private and b) we were able to stay and have drinks with each other for a long time after the speed dating finished. I think this was my favourite venue of all the Original Dating venues I've been to.

Hi Jane, delighted to read you enjoyed the evening.

Fahim Verified Attendee
  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?  
Posted: 03/03/2020

Original Dating reply

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

Louise Verified Attendee

Hi Chris, so pleased to read this. Our hosts do their best to make everyone feel comfortable.

Francesca Verified Attendee
  The location was very nice, the host too, and the whole night didn't feel like speed dating at all! It just felt like a bunch of friendly people having fun. Potentially meeting a date is just an extra bonus. Will defo go again :) Giving 4 starts only because of the price, wish it were a bit cheaper/there were maybe student discounts or something like that.

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.
