London is a seriously big city. With millions of people living and working here it also means there are lots of single people looking for love. You may consider bars, pubs and clubs the best place to find the perfect match, but apart from the sticky floors (anyone else got stuck en-route to the loo?), it is pretty hard to hold a decent conversation.
Here is our guide to finding a host of lovely singles in East London.
Where do all the singles live?
You may think everyone is cuddled up with a significant other but actually in London, that’s far from the true story. The number of singletons in London has risen by 3million in ten years and in some areas of London, singles outnumber couples. Whoop! In Hackney 60 per cent of men and 55 per cent of women are single and in Tower Hamlets, 59 per cent of men and 51 per cent of women are looking for love.
Hurray! Why don’t I ever meet them then?
Meeting fellow singles isn’t the easiest of quests. We’ve been there! Online dating can help out you in control and help you find the perfect match. With Lovestruck.com, you can find like-minded singles that live, work or are near you in East London. Organise to meet up, see if there’s chemistry and if there is, brilliant. If there isn’t, there are hundreds of other potential single Londoners to connect with.
Where do you recommend for a first date?
Here at Lovestruck.com, we think a coffee date makes for a relaxed, fun and no pressure kind of date, where you won’t end up out of pocket, or having wasted a whole evening if it’s not a match. Our top choices in East London include Climpson & Sons in Dalston, Ozone on Old Street and Shoreditch Grind
So coffee went brilliantly! What about great East London date venues?
Like everywhere else in London, expect to be spoilt for choice. Get an art-inspired insider’s view of the East End with an Alternative London tour, where you really will head off the beaten track by knowledgeable, fun and engaging guides. Or if beer is your bag, head to London Fields Brewery, where you and your date can take a tour and enjoy five of their signature offerings, including the Hackney Hopster. For a free and cultural option, take a trip to the Geffrye Museum, which explores how tastes in British hoke interiors have changed over the centuries, from 1600 the present day in a series of mock rooms.
What about eating out?
There are countless choices when it comes to eating and drinking in East London. Some of our top choices include Dishoom in Shoreditch (right) serving modern Indian cuisine; Bistroteque for brilliant brunch (don’t miss the pancakes with bacon and maple syrup) or to blow the budget, check out The Clove Club which serves a nine-course tasting menu.
