Event details

Speed dating for singles aged 40 to 65 in a relaxed cocktail bar setting in Covent Garden. Each evening you meet up to 15 singles face-to-face in short, friendly conversations, a practical alternative to dating apps for anyone newly single, divorced, returning to dating or simply new to speed dating.

The Bootlegger is a stylish Central London cocktail bar inspired by the glamour and speakeasy atmosphere of the 1920s, and a host is on hand to make you feel welcome from the start. Many guests stay on for drinks afterwards to keep talking and get to know their dates better.
