There are millions of people in this city and sometimes it's so hard to find anyone you're interested in. Well, it's time to get some professional help, as Smudged Lipstick Events are throwing a number of events to get you the person of your dreams, with nights of Dirty Scrabble Dating (speed dating with rude scrabble!?) and no-nonsense pool and ping pong parties.
Discounts available on certain events
This March and April, fans of 90s hip hop and RnB 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, the venue's DJs will be spinning all your favourite tracks long into the early hours. And don't forget just how legendary their nights are, after all, the likes of Disclosure, Jazzy Jeff and Professor Green have all performed live at their events.
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.
London's original, alternative pub crawl is an ideal spot to mingle with singletons from all over the world. Taking you away from the tourist haunts of the West End and into some of the very best spots in Camden Town instead, there's all kinds of free shots, free entry, queue jump and drink discount deals to make this a top night out that doesn't break the bank, either.
Sway underwent an extensive refurb at the start of 2016, and now it's hands down one of the hottest places to go out and party in Covent Garden. Something of a playground for adults serving sumptuous cocktails in a handsome, contemporary space, there's a NYC-styled vibe to the atmosphere that makes Sway a popular option for singles, couples and groups alike.
@ Shaka Zulu on Every Saturday
Fly your freak flag high with the arrival of the Twisted Circus collective coming to Shaka Zulu every Saturday. Whips, feather boas and ring masters are all in store for you at this night of revelry and mayhem. There'll be fire breathers, acrobats and extreme balancing feats on show here, plus a set of DJs playing the best tunes out there.
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 to this place that is infectious, with street food, caipirinhas and a vibrant decor making it one of the more memorable places for a party in Shoreditch. Come with an open mind and revel in the exotic atmosphere of this east London favourite.
Matchbox is the newest cocktail den to open its doors in Shoreditch, offering classic concoctions, delicious platters of street food and a fun-loving atmosphere for all its guests. Guests can watch their favourite teams do battle on the huge plasma screen TVs spread throughout the venue and can dance long into the early hours courtesy of the fun DJ sets on Fridays and Saturdays.
@ Montezuma on Every Friday
Seething with sparkling singletons all dressed to the nines, every Friday Mayfair's Montezuma Club plays hosts to VIP Lounge's NOVO night. A soirée of shake-your-ass R&B, hot-dropping hip-hop and crowd-pleasing commercial house. Chuck together your smartest, but sassiest attire and get philandering with all the lovely lads and lasses around the dance-floor.
