London Authentic Community Networking For Singles

London Authentic Community Networking For Singles

Sun, May 31, 6:00 PM
From Genuine Bonds Formed Over Weekend Brunch

**🎯 Online Dating Rounds Hosted for London Locals Curated Matches** On the night, you'll rotate through quick private Zoom rounds alongside personality-matched London locals in your age group, while everything stays on track thanks to a live host. On completing your sign-up, a quick compatibility quiz is part of registration — we use those answers to pair you intelligently with London locals, so your conversations have a better chance of going somewhere. Once the rounds end, we reveal your mutual connections — but only if the feeling was mutual — and from that point you call the shots. **Choose your age range below:** - **Ages 18-32** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=501.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=London&groupurlname=genuine-bonds-formed-over-weekend-brunch&ar=18-32&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 30-46** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=501.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=London&groupurlname=genuine-bonds-formed-over-weekend-brunch&ar=30-46&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 40-58** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=501.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=London&groupurlname=genuine-bonds-formed-over-weekend-brunch&ar=40-58&face_v=4.0) - **Ages 55+** → [REGISTER HERE](https://tempodating.com/product?productId=501.0&productType=onlineSpeedDating&city=London&groupurlname=genuine-bonds-formed-over-weekend-brunch&ar=55+&face_v=4.0) **⚠️ Important:** An rsvp on this page is not a confirmed spot, so tap your age group link above, register fully, and complete the personality matching quiz — numbers are intentionally limited so register early, and that combination is your actual confirmation. --- **What you can expect** 1. **Complete registration** – through the age-specific link above, then finish the compatibility quiz, as both are needed to secure your spot. 2. **Click into Zoom** – at the event start time via your Zoom link, it runs in your browser so setup takes seconds, and a host is live and will walk you through everything. 3. **Meet your matches** – live one-on-one video rounds with London locals selected for your age group, as the host keeps everything smooth and well-timed, because every conversation has been set up to feel natural. 4. **Find your matches** – once the event closes we share mutual match results, since non-mutual choices are never shared with either party, and you reach out whenever you feel ready. **Ideal if you are:** - Daters calling London home who have had enough of swiping left and right with no results and are ready for a genuine first impression. - Members near London fed up with swiping with nothing to show for it and want to talk to real people tonight. - Individuals from the London area wanting to escape matches that fade out before meeting and are ready for something that feels natural. **Event Details** - **Format:** Online and live through a private Zoom session with host-managed video rounds throughout, paired by age bracket and quiz results throughout. - **Where:** No travel required — on whatever device you prefer, just a webcam and a good internet connection, and any quiet space where you can focus for 90 minutes works. - **Host:** A capable host runs the whole show so you do not have to think about format, freeing you up to be fully present in each round — from first round to final result it is all managed for you. - **Duration:** Total time is around an hour and a half end to end, and it moves quickly. ⭐ *"Did not think I would enjoy it but — the matching was spot on"* – a London local --- ✨ London singles worth meeting are in this event — secure your place via the link above and all the logistics are covered right now. See you on the other side. 🔥 ✨

From London Games and Socials
4.7

**Whether you’re brand new to board games or just looking for a cosy way to meet people, this night is designed with you in mind.** We run our board game night every two weeks, always in the same venue, and with the same familiar hosts. Our aim is simple: create the kind of event you enjoy so much that you want to come back - and maybe make a few new friends along the way. **Please use the link below to purchase tickets for this event.** [https://dplsk.eventcube.io/events/95986/board-games-at-finsbury-park/](https://dplsk.eventcube.io/events/95986/board-games-at-finsbury-park/) **⭐ What Makes This Event Special ⭐** **The Venue:** Blighty is cosy, colourful, and just a little bit quirky — like the living room of your eccentric aunt. It also has a fabulous garden where we play board games when the weather is nice. **The Games:** We currently own over 50 games, including favourites like Articulate, Codenames, and Secret Hitler. Every game is hand‑picked for maximum fun and easy learning. **Blood on the Clocktower:** We often run Blood on the Clocktower as a special feature of the night. It’s completely optional, always beginner‑friendly, and a brilliant way to meet people through laughter, bluffing, and bold accusations. **The Hosts:** They are some of the loveliest people you will ever meet on Meetup. It doesn’t matter if it is your 1st time or 100th time coming to the board game night, they will always make you feel welcome. **Who This Event Is For** This night is perfect for people who are new to board games or just want something light, social, and easy going. * You don’t need to know any games beforehand. * You’re welcome to come alone or with a friend - either is completely fine. This is not a hardcore gaming night. You won’t find Dungeons & Dragons or Magic: The Gathering here. **Price — £5 per person** Your contribution helps us keep the event fresh and fun: * We buy new games every month to expand and update our collection. * Any games we no longer need are donated back to the community through regular giveaways. Please note that tickets are non-refundable and non-transferrable. **Where & When** **Address:** Blighty, 35-37 Blackstock Road, Finsbury Park, London, N4 2JF **Google Maps:** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/p7X7u8VLoijfujS6A](https://maps.app.goo.gl/p7X7u8VLoijfujS6A) **Nearest Tube Station:** Finsbury Park Underground Station (approx 5 min walk) **Start Time:** 5:00 PM **End Time:** 9:00 PM If it’s your first time, we strongly recommend arriving before 5:30 PM so we can help you settle in and match you with a great game.
