Speed Dating in Bank
The Anthologist is a gorgeous bar & restaurant with a cosy outside seating area. From breakfast meetings to leisurely lunches & after work drinks, this is the perfect spot just a short walk from Bank station.
Looking to meet someone special? If you're tired of endless swiping, awkward messaging, and dating apps that never seem to lead anywhere, then our popular London Speed Dating event could be exactly what you're looking for.
⭐ Age Range Guidance: This event is designed for guests aged 25-40, and the majority of attendees will fall within this range. For the best experience, we recommend booking events that match your age group.
Our speed dating events are a fun, relaxed, and effective way to meet genuine singles face-to-face in a welcoming environment.
The evening begins at 7:00pm, where you'll receive a complimentary welcome drink and have the chance to mix and mingle with other guests before the speed dating starts.
Once everyone has arrived, the speed dating event begins. You'll meet a series of like-minded singles, with each mini-date lasting around four minutes—just enough time to discover whether there's a spark. Ladies remain seated while gentlemen rotate between tables.
After the speed dating concludes, the evening doesn't end there. You'll have more time to relax, enjoy another drink, and continue chatting with anyone who caught your eye during the event.
The following day, you'll be able to submit your matches through our matching system. If two people select each other, we'll exchange contact details so you can arrange your next date.
Places are limited and many of our events sell out in advance, so book your ticket today and take the first step towards meeting someone special.
How It Works
On The Day Of The Event
You will receive a reminder email confirming the event details - it's time to get ready, look fabulous and head to the event. Aim to arrive as close to the start time so you can meet as many True Daters as possible. Late comers may not be able to participate. When you arrive at the venue, ask the staff for the True Dating party and you'll be directed to our privately reserved area. Our fantastic host will be on hand to warmly welcome you and answer any questions you may have.
During the Event
When you arrive, you'll be welcomed by our friendly host, who will check you in, provide your name badge, and explain how the evening works. The event begins with a complimentary welcome drink and some time to mingle with fellow guests before the speed dating starts. Once underway, you'll typically meet up to 15 singles, with each date lasting around four minutes. Ladies remain seated while gentlemen rotate between tables. There is usually a short break halfway through the speed dating, giving everyone a chance to grab a drink, stretch their legs, and chat informally. After the final round, the evening continues with relaxed post-event mingling. This is a great opportunity to reconnect with people you enjoyed meeting, continue conversations.
After The Event
Here's where the magic begins! Login to your True Dating account and enter your matches. You'll come across three choices: "Love," "Friend," or "No." Choose the one that best describes your connection with each match. Make sure to enter your matches by 4 pm, as this marks the start of our online pairing process. And guess what? If the stars align and you both select "Love" for each other, it's a mutual match! 🌟 Then you can start chatting with each other using our secure messaging service. Who knows? You might just be on your way to planning date #2, and we'll be here cheering you on every step of the way!
