About the event

*** THIS TICKET INCLUDES A PRE-PARTY SPEED DATING EVENT PLUS LOCK & KEY PARTY ENTRY ***

PARTY-ONLY TICKETS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR £25

ABOUT THE PRE-PARTY SPEED DATING

Over 200 people join us for our lock and key parties, but time after time we’re asked to incorporate speed dating into the night and this time we’re doing just that. This ticket includes all the potential that a 200+ person lock and key party brings but with an added hour-long speed dating event before the main party starts. Please note, party-only tickets are also available.

Party tickets with speed dating are strictly limited. You’ll arrive at the venue ahead of the main start time. We’ll whisk you around 15 or so seated 4-minute dates to break the ice, face to face.

As the speed dating ends, you’ll seamlessly join the lock and key party, but of course, you’ll have had a head start, and who knows, you may have already met someone you want to get to know much better.

ABOUT THE LOCK & KEY PARTY

Over 200 people will join us for this exciting night of offline summer fun. 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, similar age and we ensure there's an equal male/female ratio in the room.

There are prizes to be won as you seek out the person holding the key that matches your lock (or vice versa).

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 stunning, spacious surroundings of The Refinery, moments from Warren Street Station.

Head to our website the following day to view a list of everyone that 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 summer. You just need your ticket! Book now, this will sell out.

  I met someone really nice who i really liked in lots of ways and there was a mutual attraction thankfully I liked talking to him and I could be myself around him and I liked the connection and that he had really healthy respect for my physical boundaries and wasnt needy so that was nice. It was a nice venue and near the station. There were some nice guys there that were light fun and well mannered and not needy and gentlemen.

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.
