  Great venue, even though not in LS1 in this instance. I appreciated having lots of men to choose from! The evening exceeded my expectations, thank you - it felt as fun and easygoing as possible.

  Host very friendly. Organised well. But ... we had like 10 man and 2 woman. Not a company fault, but girls and boys - if you book it, come and attend! You paid for it.

  Well organized event. Unfortunate that the numbers were unbalanced and that there was a low turnout, but think the adjustment made to increase date durations was good. Two thoughts for improvements: If there's an imbalance, encourage those without a date in a round to connect with each other, and encourage people to go out together afterwards. A few of us went next door for the open mic night after and it was good fun.

  Good venue, and organised as best they could. Unfortunately, several women didn't turn up so there was an imbalance between men and women. Didn't really have too much of a detrimental effect.

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.
