London Singles Events Calendar – April 2015

Every month on 30 Dates we showcase some of the weird and wonderful dating events going on in London.  Do click on the links, as most of the companies below run more than one event throughout the month.  And if you either run dating events, or hear of a dating event we haven’t listed (which is a bit different to normal speed dating) then please keep us posted!
