Friday Night Zen Social at the National Gallery + After Party!

Zen Singles are hosting a social evening at The National Gallery on Friday 6 November, starting at 18:45. It's a relaxed way to meet new people around some art, with the night split between the gallery and a Soho afterparty.

The evening kicks off in the Sainsbury Wing foyer with a meet-and-mingle from 18:45 to 19:15, followed by a wander through Rooms 32, 34 and 45. The National Gallery, founded in 1824, holds over 2,300 paintings of Western European art from the 13th to the early 20th century, and admission is free. From 20:30, the group moves on to an afterparty at AMICA SOHO, 23 Frith Street, W1D 4RR.

Zen Singles is a London meetup group led by Zen, whom the group describes as an 'AI guru with 25 years in the game' who started the meetups to transform his own social skills and now helps others do the same. They're proudly independent and tied to no business or organisation, and they run a wide range of activities—park walks and museum tours alongside club nights, cook-offs and boat parties. This one is set up as a low-pressure way to meet new people, with an icebreaker in the Sainsbury Wing before you head into the galleries.

It's a free event, though you'll need a ticket to enter the Gallery. The timing is 18:45 for the meet-and-mingle, 19:15 for the gallery exploration, and 20:30 for the afterparty at AMICA SOHO.
