Find Romance in London

There’s no need to have a Brigit Jones moment on February 14th in London. Say “no” to songs like All By Myself and a bottle of wine with the couch and “yes” to events that will make it easier to meet Mr or Mrs Right.

Speed date

The law of probability is an amazing thing, therefore the more single people you talk to, the more likely it is you will be lucky in love or find a good friend. For an evening with like-minded individuals or to match-make a pal, why not book an evening speed dating at Amuse Bouche in London on February 13th? Reserve a ticket on 020-7193-5325 for the venue, which is by Oxford Circus tube station in Soho on February 13th from 19:00.

Sky dive

Here’s an instructor who is guaranteed to fall for you – 10,000ft to be exact. Start Valentine’s Day with an adrenaline-fuelled sky dive. After the initial lesson, divers are taken up in a plane, strapped to an expert and sent into free fall for 15 seconds before a parachute takes the two of you to the ground. An exhilarating experience could be just what you need to get your dating confidence back on track. Check skydivelondon.co.uk for more.

Get out there

Two hot recommendations for girls and guys is Volupte burlesque show and the Adonis Cabaret. For booty-licious shows by temptresses like Dita Von Teese, stop off for a bite or cocktail a short walk from Chancery Lane tub station on Central Line to Norwich Street. Meanwhile, guests can gawp at the male models performing in the Adonis Cabaret at Club Aquarium on Old Street, which combines comedy and drag with strippers and drinks. Hunks who have appeared in Eastenders and the Graham Norton show perform acts like Carwash. Bring your swimming costume, there is a pool!
