Our regular Singles Party keeps growing in popularity as we welcome more and more guests in the 30 to 45 age group each month to meet, mingle, and match! You can expect to connect with up to 180 eligible Londoners in a fun, relaxed, and informal setting.
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 180 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 180 guests at every party, there is heaps of opportunity to make new connections, enjoy a couple of drinks, and soak up the atmosphere.
After the evening concludes, you can access the event listing in your dashboard to enter feedback on those you have met and await your matches. A match is struck when two guests reciprocate identical feedback; indicating mutual intent to reconnect and enabling messaging via our online platform.
If you have any questions on the event or how things will work, please get in contact with James on 07517 065 492 or james@itsadate.club.

See all- Singles Boules in Spitalfields | Ages 30 to 45ALFI Bar & Restaurant Spitalfields Market, London
BOOK YOUR TICKET HERE.
Come and have a boule with us as we host 30 guests for an unforgettable evening filled with fun, friendly competition, and, of course, a few exciting rounds of pétanque.
Your hosts will be waiting for you at ALFI, an Italian bar with outdoor covered boules courts nestled in the heart of Spitalfields Market. Famed for organic & natural wines, craft beers, cocktails, and good old-fashioned fun. Our group of 30 single guests will have two courts for an hour and a half of light-hearted boules, socialising, and making new connections.
You’ll be welcomed at 19:15, given an optional name sticker, and shown where to leave your jacket. Then, grab an Aperol Spritz (or something else suitably sophisticated!) from the bar. Once you’re comfortable, your host will form mixed groups and give a quick rundown of the game. Boules and jacks (or cochonnets) will be handed out, and then it’s game on! The rounds will be short, giving your host the chance to mix things up and ensure you get to play with (or against?) as many guests as possible.
When you’re not aiming for that perfect shot, you’ll be hanging out in a private area adjacent to the courts, chatting, socialising, and spectating.
This is a super relaxed, light-hearted evening – the perfect setting for sparking a little spring or summer romance.
Once the game wraps up, you’ll be able to reconnect with any guests who caught your eye via our It’s a Date dashboard. This feature allows you to match, message, and organise a second date—or rematch!
If you have any questions on the event or how things will work, please get in contact with James on 07517 065 492 or james@itsadate.club.
