Original Dating

Had a fantastic time at this event in London. The host really kept the energy high with great humor and made the whole experience engaging and fun.

I found the experience at Original Dating to be a refreshing change from standard speed dating. The atmosphere in London is much more relaxed, and the awkward silences are far less daunting since you are surrounded by a small group. It’s great that the structured prompts help spark genuine conversation, moving us past the usual robotic interview questions about names and jobs.

Had a wonderful time at one of London's speed dating events. The atmosphere was vibrant, the guests were lovely, and the venue was spot on for a fun night out.

Original Dating really understands the formula. Shifting away from stiff, interview-style meetups toward active events like mini golf or bowling games makes such a difference—it’s way less pressure. One small tweak for next time: please spread the seating arrangements more evenly across the room. Right now, women tend to cluster together, which isolates the guys at the far tables and limits interaction. Better spacing would help everyone connect more naturally.

Had a nice time at Original Dating's event in London, though the volume was a bit much. It was hard to hear what people were saying because the music was so loud. Would be great if you could lower the volume next time so conversations are easier.

As London's leading organizer of live dating events, Original Dating has a solid foundation, but the current format feels a bit rushed. I’d love to see them introduce a dedicated icebreaker session to help everyone feel more at ease, and perhaps extend the overall duration so we have ample time to genuinely connect during these speed dating parties.

Having never tried speed dating before, I found it was a perfect match for my personality. The venue at Original Dating was great, though the acoustics in the room were a bit echoey, making it slightly difficult to catch every word at times.

I’d give London’s Original Dating another shot, despite a few hiccups with the phone-based check-in process. It was a bit tricky trying to keep track of attendees without photos, so I think a simple pen and paper system would be much more practical. The age range was also quite broad. On the bright side, the venue was lovely, and overall I’d be happy to attend another of their events.
