Bored of swiping and the thought of one more plain singles mixer making you want to go live in a hermitage? Don't despair, there are loads of bizarrely brilliant dating events across the city that'll have you meeting like-minded individuals in laid-back settings, with everything from flirty game of darts to rude Scrabble matches. So for all those who are looking for love but are tired of the dating scene, get involved with these quirky singles events in London and find love the weird way. 




Flight Club

Head to your nearest Flight Club for one of the coolest quirky dating events in London. Speed Darting is the best way to meet and mingle with other fun-loving darts fans over a little flirty competition whilst also showing off your impressive skills.

True Dating

Trusted singles event-organisers True Dating have built a reputation on hosting London's top mingling nights at handpicked, stylish venues across the city. Whether you prefer low-pressure socialising or traditional speed dating, every event is curated for a comfortable, seamless experience.

Split up by age bracket, these events often feature extra perks like a complimentary welcome drink to ease those initial nerves, or built-in icebreakers like mini golf and comedy sets.

Seven Deadly Sins: Halloween Singles Party

@ Devonshire Terrace on Sat, 31st Oct 2026 @ 19:30 - 23:00

While Halloween isn't often thought of as the most romantic holiday, Seven Deadly Sins at Devonshire Terrace is giving singles an opportunity to meet people in their most devilish form – which will hopefully speed up the getting-to-know-you process. 

Dress up and expose your fun side with an event that promised dancing, drinking and spooky surprises. There's also a speed dating session on the cards if you're feeling extra brave. 

The Grand Masquerade: Halloween Singles Ball

@ The Law Society on Sat, 31st Oct 2026 @ 19:00 - 1:00

Throwing an opulent ball for singles and Halloween fans alike, The Grand Masquerade at the ornate Law Society will be bringing the romance to London this spooky season. 

Don your most exquisite outfit, without forgetting your mask, and spend the night exploring a Grade II-listed building, where pillars, stained glass windows and ceramic friezes add to the drama of this extravagant affair. Guests will get the chance to mingle, witness interactive performances and snap pictures in the photo booth to take home. VIP ticket holders will also get a welcome drink, queue jump and access to the exclusive VIP lounge. 

GOOCE

A supper club that doubles as a singles event, Gooce is one of the quirkiest options for matchmaking. You'll be matched with a group of people in your age bracket, and you'll rotate throughout the evening to chat with a wide range of potential dates.

Enjoy a sumptuous three-course meal with other likeminded individuals, which features delicious sharing dishes - at venues everywhere from Shoreditch to Battersea and Victoria. You'll also receive a welcome drink, with tickets starting from £50 per person.

Novaire Connections

Hosting a series of events designed to bring like-minded people together, Novaire Connections are giving London singles a place to form long-lasting bonds based on real compatibility. 

Event types include a matchmaking movie night, where you're paired with someone with similar interests determined by a pre-date questionnaire, or a speed dating event where everyone is blindfolded – making it more about the conversation and less about the looks.
