BOOK YOUR TICKET 👉🏼 [HERE](https://itsadate.club/event/coffee-club-speed-dating-8/). A short walk from London Bridge Station, you’ll find The Refinery Bankside — a chilled, open-plan coffee bar and a brilliant spot for a brew and meeting someone new. And if the date’s going well, take a stroll along the nearby South Bank beside the River Thames. Whether you’re an espresso enthusiast, a matcha man, or the queen of chamomile, your first cup’s on us at this event full of warm introductions and laid-back laughs. And if you’re feeling a little *chai*, don’t worry — our host will be on hand to help everyone feel at ease and enjoy a great afternoon. You’ll be welcomed at 13:00, shown where to collect your complimentary cuppa, and given an optional name sticker, a pen, and a note card to track each of your dates. Our host will then give a quick introduction to explain how the event will unfold. The set-up is simple: ladies will be seated at numbered tables, and when dating begins, gents will rotate every five minutes for a fresh new ‘shot’ at romance. Your host will guide each changeover to ensure everyone meets all attendees over the course of the afternoon. About halfway through, there will be a 15-minute break — perfect for stretching your legs, topping up your drink, or chatting with fellow guests you haven’t yet met. After that, we’ll jump right back into the second round of dates. Once the final date wraps up, the bar stays open for more networking — or why not take a stroll along the South Bank with your newfound connections? After the event, you can log in to your dashboard to leave feedback and find out if any mutual matches were made. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Ollie on 07517 065 492 or Ollie@itsadate.club. So grab your cup, take a seat, and get ready to espresso yourself — you might just find the perfect blend.

Hot Bi Beverages! The Bi Coffee group (a separate group) meets at 3–6.30pm on the first Saturday of every month. The old Leon venue is permanently closed, so the group now meets in a Caffè Nero near Tottenham Court Road/Shaftesbury Avenue. **The venue**: Caffè Nero, the Central Saint Giles one; at the bottom (south end) of Earnshaw Street, at the corner with Shaftesbury Avenue (a big junction); round the corner from Tottenham Court Road Station. **Address**: 1a St. Giles High St, London WC2H 8AG Vicki is running Bi Coffee each month, come and go as you please. Find us by looking for our little purple unicorn and sign. Respect each other. Newcomers and quiet people are most welcome. There are regulars from outside our group (but in the general London bi community) so even if there's no-one else listed from here you'll be in a friendly and safe group. But do please note this is a separate group from our meetup group and for most reliable updates check out the [facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/groups/bicoffeelondon/). Its run enthusiastically by upstanding bi community member(s) and heartily recommended if more relaxed and quiet hanging out in a café is more your thing. 🟣 Accessibility: The cafe is ground floor and claims disabled toilet and access, baby changing facilities, wifi, and air conditioning (only one toilet though, which can occasionally mean a longer queue for that than for service). The cafe is opposite Tottenham Court Road bus stop S (busses 14, 176). It is on the junction so taxis will need to stop outside it. From Tottenham Court Road station head south on Charing Cross Road, take the left on Denmark Street, and then keep straight. It's under the large bright yellow Lego building. 🟣 More Info: Facebook group: [facebook.com/bicoffeelondon/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/bicoffeelondon/) Old Bi Coffee website (ignore the outdated location,map): [bi.tocotox.org/bicoffeelondon/](http://bi.tocotox.org/bicoffeelondon/) Venue: [website](https://caffenero.com/uk/store/central-st-giles-654/) / tel:[02072407412](tel:02072407412).
