Greater London
BBW Dating London: Curves All Over the Capital
Our biggest community, and plenty of free places to meet.
More Curvy Singles Here Than Anywhere Else
Greater London is home to more Curvy Dates members than any other part of the UK: around 360 of them, from the East End to the outer boroughs. London is also where dating can feel most exhausting. The apps are crowded, everyone seems to be in a hurry, and as a plus size woman or a big man it is easy to feel lost in the swipe. A curvy dating site cuts through that. The person who messages you from Walthamstow or Wimbledon chose a site full of curves on purpose.
The capital's crowd leans slightly younger than our UK average and has more men than women, so women in London tend to have plenty of choice. Admirers, meanwhile, will find that a thoughtful first message stands out in a city where many people send a quick "hey".

First Dates That Cost Nothing
London's best first-date secret is how much of it is free. Tate Modern on Bankside has no entry charge for its main collection, plenty of benches, and a riverside walk to the Southbank Centre afterwards. The National Gallery on Trafalgar Square is free too, and its café is a calm place to talk. On a Sunday morning, Columbia Road Flower Market in Bethnal Green is a lovely, slow wander with independent cafés along the street.
If you would rather be outdoors, the flat paths of Regent's Park and the rose gardens there are ideal for a gentle stroll, while Greenwich Park offers a view over the whole city for a little more effort. Borough Market is perfect for grazing, though it gets busy at weekends, so a weekday lunchtime is kinder if you dislike crowds.

London Is Big. Date Close to Home.
A forty-minute journey each way can kill the spark before you arrive. Search close to home first.
South of the River
From Brixton to Bromley and Croydon, with Dulwich Park and the Horniman Museum gardens for an easy afternoon.
The Outer Boroughs
Enfield, Harrow, Romford and beyond. Suburban dates with free parking and quieter pubs are underrated.
Making a London Date Easy
- Meet somewhere between you, on a Tube or Overground line you both know.
- Avoid rush hour. A packed Northern line carriage is nobody's idea of romance.
- Check the seating at pubs and bars online; many central London venues are standing room only after six.
- Have your own way home planned, and tell a friend where you are going. Our safety page has more.
A London Date for Every Season
Spring brings the blossom in Greenwich Park and the tulips at Hampton Court. In summer, a picnic blanket on Primrose Hill or a riverside table outside a South Bank café is hard to beat, and the long light evenings mean you can meet after work without it feeling like a late night. Autumn is the time for Kew Gardens and its changing trees, which are glorious and mostly on flat paths. In winter, the lights along Regent Street and a warm pub with a fire are all the romance anyone needs.
Whatever the month, keep a plan B indoors. London weather changes its mind, and a dry café nearby saves the day.
