Valentine's Night For Singles at The Breakfast Club in Shoreditch

We've listed lots of Valentine's Day events, but this is the first one specifically designed for singles.  (In fact Singles Day in China - 11th of the 11th - all the ones - is one of their biggest festivals)  Head down to The Breakfast Club in Shoreditch for a special night on your own, or with your single friends.

"The Royal Society for The Pursuit of Love Birds are crashing our Valentines Day lurrrve disco to foster the Power of Love within us all.

If you’re flying solo, let the Love Birds lend you their binoculars, hold your hand and guide you through how to spot and approach that person you’ve had your eye on all night. Or, if you’re lucky enough to be coupled up, write a love letter and have them deliver it to your unsuspecting partner as they leave the loos. 

Throw in a DJ spinning a soundtrack cheesier than those dodgy love compilations you see advertised on the telly and you’ve got yourself a Valentines night with no set meal for two or sad single tears in sight.

If you’re a single girl or guy bring another singleton of the opposite sex and you’ll both get a free glass of our special Love Punch. 

Our dirty little secret The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town will also be open if you are looking for somewhere a little more covert. It’s all about secret trysts behind the fridge so bring your dirty little secret downstairs for a cosy cocktail to get them in the mood."

Chick Flick Tuesday Pop-up Screenings by the Rooftop Film Club in Kensington

The Rooftop Film Club has announced two special Valentine's chick flicks for Tuesday 12th February at The Roof Garden in Kensington - Bridget Jones' Diary and Dirty Dancing.  Films are shown on a big screen, and the audience is given wireless headphones for the sound.  Tickets include a glass of Champagne or Peroni (soft drinks available) and a freshly prepared hot snack grilled on the outdoor coal fire barbecue, and there is butler service throughout the films.  Note that films sell out fast - the ones on Valentine's Day itself have already gone!

If big knickers aren't your thing then maybe dancing with a water melon will get you in the mood as we present one of the greatest Chick Flicks ever: 'Dirty Dancing'. We expect the Swayze massive to be out in force, some dancing in the aisles and, of course, no one is putting Baby in the corner! Period!
The fun doesn't stop there as tickets includes a glass of Champagne or Peroni (soft drinks available) and a freshly prepared hot snack grilled on the outdoor coal fire barbecue.
 And don't forget that our screenings are in a gloriously heated exclusive marquee situated 100ft above Kensington High Street tucked away in the tranquil setting of 1.5 acres of themed gardens.
