Speed dating in London was devised a number of years ago for single Londoners looking to meet other singles. Originally started in the States, the simple yet effective UK speed dating concept has proved extremely popular here, with many singles having tried speed dating in London at some point, and many articles being written about it.

Speed dating in London is run by a number of dating event companies, who all use a similar format for their speed dating events.

This involves a series of 3 minute speed dates, where singles of the opposite sex spend 3 or 4 minutes talking to each other before moving to the next table. All speed dating guests have a matching card, where they tick the people they have met that they would like to meet again after the speed dating event.
Most speed dating in London is held in bars on a week night, for singles to try after work.

Speed dating London had been around for a few years when we decided that single Londoners might want an alternative dating experience to speed dating. There are many advantages to speed dating, it's fun, fast and you don't waste time. It can also be a bit daunting, tiring and repetitive, and 3 or 4 minutes to meet someone isn't always long enough.
We wanted to create a similar event to speed dating in London, but with a more relaxed environment, less speed, and a distraction that was fun. Most singles in London go for a few drinks after work and at the weekends, and hope to meet people. Creating a similar environment to this with a twist on speed dating was soon created and Grape Vine Social was born.
As the original creators of the wine tasting speed dating concept, launched in 2004, Grape Vine Social continue to be the leading UK speed dating with wine company, with weekly wine speed dating events across London.

Speed dating London with Wine is a Grape Vine Social concept that combines speed dating and wine tasting into one fun night out. Guests aren't expected to know anything about wine, and there is no formal tutored wine tasting, just an opportunity for guests to taste different wines while speed dating.
The speed dating element of the evening is much slower and relaxed than a usual speed dating in London event. Instead of 3 or 4 minutes, guests have around 15 minutes to meet a group of six other guests, before moving to the next table. This format has been favoured over speed dating as guests are also tasting a wine and trying a wine quiz.
If you like wine and want to try something different to speed dating London, this is definitely an event for you!

Soon after wine tasting speed dating was developed, we launched Speed dating with Champagne. This event gives guests an opportunity to taste six different sparkling wines and Champagnes while meeting dating singles in London.
Guests blind taste the wines, and a prize is given at the end of the speed dating evening to the person who correctly identified the wines in the right order.

Our most recent addition to our London speed dating has been Beer Tasting Speed Dating in London. This event is dedicated to showing guests a range of speciality beers they may not have tried before to demonstrate the diversity of this drink.
Sticking to the speed dating with drinks format, guests taste 6 beers while speed dating.
Learning the basics about beer and speed dating on a Friday night is a perfect night out for those who want to try something different to speed dating in London but don't like wine.
