Transport for London (TfL), MBNA Thames Clippers and MySingleFriend.com are joining forces to offer you the chance to take part in a unique free dating event, where you’ll see the sights of London by air and on the water – and maybe find romance!
ON Thursday February 12, singletons plus their chosen friends are invited to enjoy a moonlit boat ride courtesy of MBNA Thames Clippers before boarding London’s only cable car, the Emirates Air Line, for some speed dating with a twist.
The evening kicks off at 6.45 p.m. at the London Eye Pier. Daters will then sail down to North Greenwich, with a host and comedian on board to entertain the crowd and get everyone ready for a memorable night.
After disembarking at North Greenwich, singles and their ‘wingmen’ and ‘wingwomen’ will then take to the skies on the Emirates Air Line, mingling with other pairs on a 20 minute round trip and taking in the views of the London skyline at night. Guests can then continue getting to know each other at All Bar One in The O2, where they’ll receive discounted beverages and promotions.
Danny Price, TfL’s Head of the Emirates Air Line said: “Romance isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when most people think of transport, yet a boat trip along the Thames and a cable car flight above it are two very romantic ways to experience inspiring views of London after dark. In fact, both have seen a couple of marriage proposals before. We hope the evening provides a dating event with a difference and that the sparkling lights of London set the mood for romance.”
A recent survey of MySingleFriend.com members highlighted that 86 per cent of singles believe it is important that their friends like the person they are dating, while 72 per cent said they would enjoy a dating event more if they attended with a friend.
Sarah Beeny, well known TV presenter and founder of MySingleFriend.com added: “We wanted to offer a completely unique dating event which people would never forget. What could set the scene for romance more than a boat ride before taking to the skies and admiring the view below? Experiencing something completely different makes people more open to new possibilities, so it’s the perfect environment for meeting people. Plus with a wingman in tow, it makes it even more fun. Our wingmen might not have Cupid’s wings, but London’s only cable car comes a pretty close second.”
