Are you a “Sarf” Londoner? Are you fed up of not meeting the right single people who live or work near you? Finding love in London is no easy feat – between long work hours, commuting and seeing friends, sometimes those elusive singletons remain just that, elusive. Well, with Christmas just around the corner, we’ve pulled together a host of useful facts and date ideas for finding that perfect someone in South London for brisk autumn walks, fun dinner dates and cosy nights in front on the box.
Where do all the singletons in South London live?
London has the highest proportion of singletons compared to other major cities in the UK. The number of single men and women is rising by the year… In Lambeth 61 per cent of men and 56 per cent of women are looking for love, while in Southwark 57 per cent of men and 52 per cent of women are single. In fact, in most South London boroughs, over 36.8 per cent of both sexes are on their own.
Great! But where can I find them?
Ah-ha! Well this is the tricky bit, no? Hanging out in bars and clubs can be fun but gets a bit tiresome when everyone has had one too many… or is sporting a dodgy looking indent on their ring finger. Lovestruck.com allows you to look for like-minded singletons who work, live or hang-out near you in South London. Connect with them, see if you have stuff in common and take it from there.
Where should we meet for the first time?
So you’ve made a connection with someone – fab! A coffee date always makes a great first date, allowing you to get to know someone in a pressure-free environment without spending loads of money or committing to lots of time. Out top choices in South London for great coffee shops include St David Coffee House in Forest Hill, Brew Café in Battersea and Federation Coffee
Do you have some fun date ideas?
Yes! There are 100s of places to choose to go on dates in South London. Some of our favourites include a trip to the Globe Theatre, where there is always heaps on events and performances on celebrating the work of the famous bard; Lates at Tate Britain , where you can enjoy the exhibitions and enjoy vibrant music, film and art with a drink in one hand; or if legwarmers and ‘70s music are more your style, why not check out Roller Disco in Vauxhall.
Are there good options for foodies in South London?
In a word, yes! Again there are endless choices for fab food and drinks. We like Toasted in East Dulwich, which dishes up top-class food and wine; Boqueria Tapas in Brixton for Spanish comfort food; and Cha Chi in Raynes Park for fabulous Korean fare. For a special occasion, head to Artusi in Peckham for sophisticated Italian dishes or The Light House for an interesting Italian fusion menu.
