  Kinda decent amount of people. Would have been better if we had a small paper to scribble on their names or notes. ☺️

  It was well organised and the host was professional and nice but I think the age range needs to be more focused. Maybe 28-42

  I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who hasn’t tried it yet. A great selection of guys and a fun night out. The only issue I had was how the guys were rotated around the room. I missed out on two guys at the end but luckily spoke to them at the end after the event had finished.

  It was very fun but I think it would be better if people wore name tags and if the direction of swapping seats was clearer as I didn’t get to meet everybody.

  It was a better turnout of people and the host is amazing! I would recommend a week night once per month and I feel like more people would come out.

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.
