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.
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.
Grab all your mates and head over to The Hawk's Nest, a vibrant and bustling venue in Shepherd's Bush. Here, you can sip your way through a menu of cocktails and craft beer, before chowing down on sourdough pizza or catching some live music.
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.
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 no less than 17 tables to demonstrate your skills here, with delicious pizza served by the restaurant and the cocktails flowing all night long.
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.
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.
