Fans of 90s hip hop and R&B are in for a real treat, thanks to the team behind the legendary Supa Dupa Fly events. Taking over some of London's biggest clubs, DJs will be spinning all your favourite old school adn modern tracks long into the early hours.
Bar Rumba is one of the most popular party bars of choice for singletons out dancing in the West End. It's rammed pretty much every night of the week, DJs play commercial music mixed with dance anthems and there's some pretty sweet happy hour deals to cash in on.
Hopefully you won't be single for much longer thanks to Date in a Dash. Not only do they have a variety of speed dating events including different age ranges (so no one is left out!), they've also got other events like Drunk Jenga, Singles Bar Crawl and more.
Looking to spend a little quality time with your besties? Then head to The Pretty Parlour, a gorgeous nail salon in Ealing that also happens to be a brilliant cocktail bar. While sipping on a refreshing fruity concoction or a glass of Veuve Clicquot Champagne, you can treat yourselves to a nail treatment using one of 13 different cruelty-free products, with hot towels and head massages up for grabs as well.
Another great place to meet single people in London is Floripa; the part Brazilian beach bar, part bloc party club just down from Old Street. There's a carnival atmosphere that's infectious; with street food, caipirinhas and a vibrant decor making it one of the more memorable places for a party in Shoreditch.

Love After Dark blends the atmosphere of a late-night party with the intention of a dating event, without making it feel like one. Set inside L'oscar's dramatic Baptist bar, the evening invites singles and social butterflies alike to mix over cocktails, music and unforced conversation.
You'll be welcomed with a drink and a colour-coded wristband that sets the tone, whether you're actively mingling or just open to seeing what the night brings.
Clapham High Street's SiXTY/FoUR is the perfect place for singles in London, offering fun buzzy vibes, daily happy hours and great tunes. Head here with your friends for an evening spent sipping potent libations and dancing to the best in soul, hip hop and funk.
@ The London Eye Millennium Pier on Sat, 14th Feb 2026 @ 16:00 - 18:00
Try something a bit unconventional this Valentine's Day with Thames Rockets' unique speedboat experience. The Ultimate Speed Date lets singles meet each other while shooting down the Thames at high speeds.
Twelve men and twelve women will be on board, rotating seats during the journey so everyone gets a chance to chat. Once you're back on dry land, you'll take a trip to Slug and Lettuce Waterloo, where you can unwind and mingle further.
Always abuzz with a crowd of fun-loving singletons, how better to mingle with like-minded people than over a few games of ping-pong? There's table tennis tables to demonstrate your skills here, with delicious pizza, burgers and small bites served by the restaurant and the cocktails flowing all night long.
@ Ballie Ballerson, London on Sat, 14th Feb 2026 @ multiple start times (see ticket info)
Why spend your Valentine's Day around loved-up couples when you can party with the girls and the gays at Ballie Ballerson. The WHERE THE HELL IS MY HUSBAND??? Galentine's Special is all about girl power, pizza and play.
When you're not flinging your way around the ball pit, head into the mass karaoke room to belt out bangers at the top of your lungs. Tickets to London's biggest Galentine's bash start from just £15.90.
