About the event

Join us this online only, virtual speed dating event designed for people living in and around South West London.

You’ll meet 10-15 people for short dates lasting just four minutes - all from the comfort of home.

Our virtual speed dating events mirror the format of our real-life events. Upon signing into the event, you’ll meet our host who will explain the format to the group. You’ll then be transported to virtual tables for two which offer a one on one private chat environment for your first four-minute date.

You can join the event from any device that features a camera and a microphone and most phones and laptops are perfect for the job.
At the end of each date, the male participants will be moved to the next virtual table and the next date begins. The whole session will last approximately one hour.

After the event, simply head to our website and view a list of everyone you met at the event. Select who’s a yes, a friend or a no and our system will crunch the matches.

The following day your matches will be published, and you’ll be able to message your matches via our site and arrange your next virtual meet or in the not too distant future a real life date.

Our virtual speed dating events are guaranteed. If you don’t meet anyone you want to see again, your next virtual event is free.
Book now!

  Genuinely nice people - fun night out. Due to the 5min format there’s no pressure for long conversations, nice and quick but enough time to get a feel for a person.

  Good location and well run, only reason it wasn't 5 stars is there could've done with some background music at the start, as going into a silent room with everyone sat down waiting was quite awkward

  It was a good new experience I liked how speed dating works I would say we need longer than 5 minutes more like 6-7 minutes would help to get to know someone and ask more questions about them and what they like enjoy and just have more time to talk as well.I liked the range of people I meet and how friendly and approachable most of them were to me and the host was helpful if I asked for advice about something I wanted help with.

  Great evening out and met some really cool people. Very nice, spacious venue for it and the 4 minute conversations go so quickly it was great to stay on a bit longer and talk to some of the people I met. Would go again!

  Good to meet an array of people in a safe friendly setting. It feels a bit intense but also works in terms getting a chance to chat to of lots of people over a short time period. You get so much information just form being in front of each other, compared to online chat.

  Surprisingly, for a virtual event and my first attempt at speed dating it work well. Once we had got into the break out rooms it was a good system and allowed us to talk freely.

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

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.
