    other people who are at the same phase of life, this the event for you!

    You may find a friend forever, a party buddy, a partner in crime or a
    partner in life!

    Since this is a mix and mingle and not a speed dating there is no age range- in a social pool everybody is welcome and you can choose to speak to whoever you fancy.

    Connect with like minded people and open your social circle, enjoy
    chatting about anything and everything, with those you like, for as long as you like while sipping on the best cocktails in town made by award-
    winning mixologists.

    If you find somebody who you think you have a connection with, dare to
    ask their contact details right then and there... like the old times ;)

    because they all will be!

    be there to welcome you, make you feel comfortable and act as the
    perfect glue among those who wish to. Attendees from past events always feel welcome and energised after our events. Our reputation says that we make the best events in London - so come and check by yourself!
