Singles Ghost Walk in London (All Ages)

The Singles Ghost Walk kicks off at The Sutton Arms on Saturday 31 October, running from 7:30pm to 10:00pm. It's set up as a dating alternative: rather than timed conversations and forced introductions, it takes local singles on a tour of London's darker side, guided through some of the city's oldest streets and most notorious locations. You'll be chatting naturally with fellow attendees as you go, and the hosts are there to help break the ice if things feel a bit quiet.

The route hits a few grim spots in the city's history. You'll stand on the site where William Wallace was executed, hear stories of body snatchers and grave robbers, and pass a mass plague burial ground. It's the kind of thing that gives you something to talk about without having to scramble for small talk, and since you're on the move, it feels less like a formal date and more like a night out with a group of people who happen to be in the same boat.

The walk is run in partnership with the DateinaDash dating app, which handles the matching side of things. They use a Date Score™ system for compatibility insights with everyone you meet, and the app includes private messaging for when you want to follow up with a match. The night also doubles as a chance to build your own DateScore™ profile, so if you're already using the app, it's a way to get your profile moving.

All ages are welcome, the dress code is smart casual, and you don't need to bring any ID. Tickets start from £16.88, and the walk runs from 7:30pm to 10:00pm, with 8:00pm as the last entry, so you've got a bit of leeway if you're running late. The starting point is The Sutton Arms, 6 Carthusian Street, London EC1M 6EB.
