About the event

Over 250+ people will join us for this super sociable Spring party in the heart of London.

Featuring our fantastic lock & key icebreaker and a totally equal male to female ratio you are sure to meet and speak to a huge number of people and have a fab night out.

The best bit? Everyone is single, a similar age and there to meet people in the spacious surroundings of Devonshire Terrace, moments from Liverpool Street.

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

Work the room, meet people, try your locks and key and when you find a matching pair you could be in for a prize. It's hilarious and a lot of fun.

The fun doesn't stop here. Following the lock & key icebreaker, we'll be setting the mood with a live DJ and plenty of opportunities to dance the night away.

Post event, simply choose the people you liked and our matching system will tell you who you mutually matched with. Get in touch again via our messenger and the rest is up to you.

This really is the perfect place to meet people this Spring. You just need your ticket! Book now, we will sell out fast.

  Good venue, space and mixture of spaces. Drinks reasonably priced (unlike other dating companies). Had some great conversations with lots of guests, made some new 'going out buddies'. Thanks Al.

  Great social event; managed to meet some genuine individuals too. The venue was beautiful, and the dj seemed to cater for all. Initially, it was a bit tight to move around inside and I had to go outside to have a decent conversation, but overall it was a great experience! Met some lovely people, thanks for a brilliant night!

ORIGINAL DATING IN THE PRESS
Trustpilot

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.
