A few moments from King’s Cross station you will find Drake & Morgan, a trendy and cosmopolitan bar spread over two floors with a great atmosphere and eclectic crowd. We welcome around 160 guests for introductions and socialising in a private area reserved exclusively for It's a Date. For those who like a bit of dance floor action, the venue has a DJ keeping the energy high and good times flowing in the basement bar until late. Your hosts will be at the venue ready to welcome you at 19:30. They will be wearing a big smile and easy to spot, but if you’re uncertain just ask one of the friendly bar team. Hosts will indicate the area reserved exclusively for our event, offer you an optional name sticker, and direct you to where to leave your jacket. **A complimentary welcome drink** is offered to guests arriving before 20:00 – no better reason to arrive in good time! When comfortable, your hosts will introduce you to other guests and aid group mingling. Singles parties are more casual and informal in structure – a great opportunity to meet and network with other like-minded single people in a relaxed and fun environment. Our hosts will be there from start to finish to ensure you have the chance to meet everyone and make any special introductions at your request. With around 160 guests at every party, there is heaps of opportunity to make new connections, enjoy a couple of drinks, and soak up the atmosphere.

Following on from a really great previous meet-up here in 2024 we're returning for a relaxed Sunday Meet-Up at the Young V&A (formerly the museum of childhood). There is absolutely loads for children to do here, from construction toys, to a mini theatre, to drawing in moving sand. It's the perfect place for the children to let off some energy when the weather is not on our side. The activities would easily entertain children aged 0 to 11. The museum is a 2-minute walk away from Bethnal Green underground station, or a 5-minute walk from Cambridge Heath Overground. Buses 106, 254, and 388 stop nearby. There is minimal parking for cars, but good bike parking out the front of the museum. Entry to the museum is free. Meet in the big hall as you walk in, just on the left. Look for the pride flags on the buggy/bag.

**Love dancing to hedonistic, high‑energy dance tunes?** Then come kick off 2026 in euphoric, high‑octane style as one of France’s and Swiss finest **dance‑music DJs and Producers** drops phenomenal uplifting spiritual, hypnotic melodic grooves for us to lose ourselves in one of the most iconic venues in London’s clubland — **KOKO** \- in Camden\, the home of music\. Collectively \- their music has amassed over 18 million streams\! So expect a proper club‑night experience with inspiring immersive lightshows / lasers for our bodies to sync in harmony to as with gyrate to the **rhythms** of the night. Obviously there will be no uncool "touristy" rubbish but proper dance music - think - ecstasy inducing tunes you'd dance to at other music clubs like Lightbox, Egg, Bagleys, Ministry, Moondance, Fabric, Paradise etc spun by global DJs renowed in the genre. We'll join up to 1,500 other fellow cool young trendy music lovers for a night of blissful musical tranquility, Average age range will be 18 to 35ish but heavily skewed toward 20s men. **Free Tickets limited.** Sorry but if you don't love both uplifting dance music and dancing to it - please don't rsvp and deprive someone who genuine musical dancer an extremely rare free place! And honestly, if you're only gonna stay for less than a couple of hours there's probably no point in coming. You don't need to stay 5am but as per most proper clubs - the real revellers don't usually arrive untill 2ish and the main DJ / music sets don't even kick off till 12 so it's would be waste of a free ticket that you'd normally pay up to £70 quid for! Oh & please don't ask me about 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine - I'm not a biochemist - try your local Boots! **=== Time To Make The Floor Burn But Early ===** The only downside is we have to get in there before 10.30pm else regular door charge tickets will be about £45-80 quid, maybe cheaper with student ID. If you wanna pay for full price on door/ pre-buy and meet us in there later that's cool too as 10.30pm is understandably way too early to go a club (hence the free tickets) - we can sort out the details later. DM me for the free ticket link. We'll meet beforehand somewhere quieter for pre-drinks, intros, banter and obviously music chats about our previous rave escapades, our fav tunes, and non-music related banter. As Koko gets packed by 2am (1500 standing dancing cap) and we have restricted free tickets - to avoid losing people - a small group size will be optimal for dancing together so limiting RSVPs. Obviously you can dance with the other ravellers once they arrive. Will update with nearby super cheap pre-drinks Camden venue in the location and comments so keep an ear out. Naughty Naughty, Very Naughty - Ebenezer Lucas
