If it’s a hot romance you’re after, look no further than October Speed Dating at Sway Bar in Covent Garden on the 10th of October, when a series of three-minute dates could lead to your perfect match.

Sway in Covent is the picture of style, and its Hyde Club has been booked out for this sizzling occasion.

Now in its 16th year, Urban Connections has brought together hundreds of couples thanks to the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of its events, putting men entirely at ease as they seek out their dream partners.

Its policy of “everybody’s welcome” has seen more than 5,000 men attending over 100 speed dating events, and with guests able to enjoy as many as 40 dates in a single night, there is every chance Cupid will have you in his sights.

Being able to meet new guys face to face instead of swiping left or right on apps is not only more exciting but takes away the uncertainty of who the person might be away from the keyboard.

Urban Connections is also a wonderful way to enjoy the company of people from different backgrounds and professions, offering endless networking opportunities.

Best of all is that if guests aren’t interested in dating, they can still find friend matches to widen their social circle – a terrific option for those who might be a little on the shy side. And, even in the unlikely event of no matches being found, Urban Connections will even grant you free access to its next event.

There will be plenty of love in the air on the night, so be sure to grab your share of it!

Doors open at 6pm when guests can check in/receive their badges and log into their online form on their mobile devices. The first round of speed dating starts at 6.30pm sharp and ends at 10pm. Guests are welcome to stay on and mingle at the bar.

Dress code is smart/casual.
