Hot London Date Ideas

Suggesting that heading inside and dating over shared interests through series like ‘The Bear’ and ‘Emily in Paris’ could actually be the perfect date idea this winter.

However, what if there were more dating possibilities for singles in London apart from leaving a permanent indent on your mum's sofa ?

London dating ideas:

Despite Netflix and chill being the more viable and affordable dating option here in London,  as we see the days grow agonizingly longer and the nights excruciatingly colder, surely there are more exciting dating ideas yet to be discovered. 

As even though parks may be a no go, there are still a bunch of date night plans waiting to be made, which can both keep you warm and guarantee a good time. Example being: 

Drinks:

Heading out for drinks with a match that you’ve made online is an oldie but a goodie when it comes to dating in London. As you are able to meet your date, potentially for the first time, in a public setting which can help singles feel more comfortable and safe whilst meeting new people. 

Reason being as if you look at statistics it unfortunately shows that dating isn’t always as safe as we would like, as statistics have shown that 33 percent of dating app users have experienced either harassment or abuse by someone they met via a dating app, which isn’t the most positive statistic. 

However if you head on over to one of our previous articles about ‘How to date safely in London’, it highlights how concepts like ‘Ask Angela’ are in place to protect people if they are feeling unsafe, all through using the code word, ‘Ask Angela’ to seek help from trained employees if needed.

Museum:

Another dating idea in London which will keep your pockets full and your mind engaged would be a trip to your local museum.  This is because museums are full of hidden gems, they often have interesting exhibitions going on, and most of the time they are free. 

Examples of some free museums right here in London would be the V&A museum or the National Gallery just to name a few.

So if you’re looking to tap into your artistic side and get you and your dates' minds going then head on over to a museum. 

Indoor Activity:

I would say one of my most favourite types of dates, when someone finally decides to date me again, would be an activity. Whether that’s an indoor arcade like gravity, bowling, or even tapping into your big kid era with a night at baller ballerson.

I believe an activity would be the perfect way to get to know your date a bit better, as it takes the pressure away from a traditional dinner date, and you are able to let loose and have fun, in an organic way. 

So with this article very much proving that it is possible for singles to transfer their dating life from online to offline, hopefully this will give you the push you need to get back out there. 

However if you are still feeling hesitant in how to even go about suggesting and planning such a date, luckily for you this is where Evntful comes in. 

Evntful:

Evntful which is an upcoming dating brand has come to fruition with a new concept to spice up the dating scene as we once knew it, and put a fresh spin on guiding singles to love.
