Our popular Singles Party attracts a growing crowd of Londoners aged 30–45 each month, with up to 160 guests joining us for an evening of relaxed introductions, great conversation, and easy socialising.
Just moments from King’s Cross station, Drake & Morgan is a stylish, cosmopolitan venue spread across two floors with a lively atmosphere and eclectic crowd. Guests will enjoy exclusive access to a private area reserved for It’s a Date, while those looking to continue the night can head downstairs where the DJ keeps the energy high until late.
Your hosts will be ready to welcome you from 19:30 and will help you settle in, introduce you to other guests, and encourage group mingling throughout the evening. Optional name stickers and somewhere to leave your jacket will also be available.
Arrive before 20:00 to enjoy a complimentary welcome drink — the perfect excuse to arrive on time.
Our Singles Parties are intentionally informal and sociable, giving you the opportunity to meet a wide range of like-minded people in a relaxed environment. With around 160 guests at each event, there’s plenty of opportunity to make new connections while enjoying the atmosphere.

Singles Cocktail Chemistry Masterclass | Ages 30 to 45
The Alchemist, Victoria, 52 Grosvenor Gardens, Greater London, GBBOOK YOUR TICKET 👉🏼 HERE.
Calling all cocktail enthusiasts! Shake up your dating game with 24 high-spirited singles at this unique mixology masterclass, led by the cocktail magicians at The Alchemist.
Learn step-by-step how to create one of The Alchemist’s classic cocktails in a lively, interactive session — with the occasional surprise along the way! Whether you’re a little Old Fashioned or more Cosmopolitan, you’re sure to find something (and possibly someone) that stirs your senses. So, don’t be a Moscow Mule — come along and enjoy the best fun you’ve had mixing and mingling in a Long (Island Iced Tea) time.
Arrive at 19:30 to be welcomed by your host, who will direct you to the private event area, provide a name sticker, and give you a quick low-down on how the evening will run.
During the masterclass, you’ll be split into mixed groups designed to break (or crush?) the ice, spark conversation, and discover shared passions — perhaps a love of the perfect Fruit Martini! Between sessions, mingle with other guests or relax and discuss the art of the perfect Negroni with a newfound connection.
The cocktail you create is yours to enjoy, and additional drinks are available to purchase from the bar. Your host — affectionately dubbed ‘pretty fly for a Mai Tai’ — will be on-hand throughout to keep the cocktails and good times flowing. After the class, a resident DJ will take over for anyone in the party mood.
Following the event, post-event matching will be available via your It’s a Date dashboard, so you can continue the conversation or schedule a second date at your own pace.
If you have any questions on the event or how things will work, please get in contact with Ollie on 07517 065 492 or ollie@itsadate.club.

Strike it lucky with 30 guests (ages 30–45) at a lively night of introductions, entertainment, and—of course—bowling!”
All Star Lanes Holborn is a retro-style venue that’s perfect for breaking the ice over a few strikes — or gutter balls! Expect a fun, relaxed evening meeting like-minded singles on the lanes and in a private area reserved exclusively for It’s a Date guests. Throughout the night, enjoy creative cocktails, craft beers, wines, and the venue’s famous milkshakes.
This bowling themed event is ideal for fun-loving singles booking individually or with friends. Everyone will be welcomed by our host at 19:15 who will offer you a name sticker, direct you to our private area, and ensure you have time to grab a drink before we begin.
Guests alternate between the lanes in mixed groups of guys and girls for an action-packed game of bowling designed to break the ice, get the conversation flowing, and become acquainted with your fellow teammates. While not bowling, you will have the chance to socialise more widely as our host is on-hand to make introductions to all other guests.
At the end of the games, we will tot-up the scores and announce our King- or Queen-pin of the evening. However, if previous events are anything to go by, everyone’s a winner at this great fun evening.
Post-event matching will be available on your It’s a Date dashboard where you can continue the winning streak in love as well as on the lanes.
If you have any questions on the event or how things will work, please get in contact with Ollie on 07517 065 492 or ollie@itsadate.club.
