Welcome to the biggest and best Christmas party for single Londoners.

This is our largest party of the year and this one is expected to be our best yet!

300+ singles are expected to join us as we take over the stunning surroundings of the Fable - filling all three floors for an evening of icebreakers, party games plus a live DJ and dancing.

This super sociable event features our fantastic lock & key icebreaker to ensure you meet a huge number of people.

The best bit? Everyone is single, a similar age and we ensure there's equal male/female ratio in the room.

Each time you find a matching pair you'll be in with a chance to win one of our great prizes.

And of course, you'll meet loads of people along the way, all in the spacious surroundings of our venue, moments from Farringdon and Chancery Lane stations.

Head to our website the following day to view everyone who attended. Select the people you like and our system will tell you who you are mutually matched with. Get in touch again via our messenger and the rest is up to you.

This party is the perfect place to meet people this Christmas. You just need your ticket! Book now, this will sell out.

  Superb venue for this event with an amazing positive vibrant turn out. Speed dating event was a little rushed but still fun. Tables spaced out better than other events. 3 floors of stylish decor, decent music, good drinks and many singles :)

  Nice venue, plenty of space, not too much waiting at the bar (which I've found sometimes with some other of your events), nice people...was hoping for a bit more variety on the dancefloor - some Michael Jackson?

  I liked the Event, it was just the people 😉 Was very well attended, eclectic mix, quite amusing when you hear some people's ‘expectations’ - you of course get out of things what effort you put in, in the first place, some people get that some don’t. Why anyone would go when they can’t be bothered to even do a basic profile, or even post a single picture baffles me .. I guess they’ll get out of the process what they put in!! All in all a fun night, had realistic expectations so wasn’t too disappointed!

  Great atmosphere and good ice breaking games. Announcements were difficult to follow. A bit chaotic at the beginning. Would have been better if locks and keys were given as guests arrived to reduce stampeding to start game. May have been nice to have a more organised way to meet people, i.e., section people off and given them time within a particular section to mingle and then move onto another section so you are exposed to more people. As I went through the profiles this morning, it occurred to me that I had not met as large a group of people as I had thought. But still a really fun event. I will be attending more with a view to having a better strategy to circulate.

  Good icebreaker and good venue. Could have given people the locks and keys as they came in rather than a big mad crush. Also a lot of people left early rather than until the midnight specified so maybe something to keep them. A couple of the floors started to close it would have been good to keep them open longer.

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS

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.
