Valentine's Day in London for singles

Things to do in London this February 14 on your own or with friends

All the single ladies (and gentlemen), this one's for you – a selection of London events and activities happening on February 14 that you don't have to be part of a loved-up couple to participate in

Things to do on your own

Go to the cinema

See the film that you want to see, at the time you want to go. Freedom from the shackles of companionship also means you can bawl your eyes out at will
Take yourself out for dinner

Many London restaurants are tailor-made for solo diners. Check out our list of places where a table for one is the norm
Improve yourself

There are several intriguing talks happening around London on Valentine's Day, including 'Love and the Art of Living' and a 'Mending Broken Hearts Seminar'

Things to do with friends

Follow a hidden trail

Solve a trail of clues sent to you by text message, each one leading to a new location. Hidden parks and courtyards, sweet nibbles and wine can be found along the way
Go to a gig

Choose from Morricone's cinematic loungecore, dream-pop from Tennis, the rock-heavy Pure Love and a host of other bands to enjoy jumping around to with your mates
Have a laugh

Laugh your head off at one of London's comedy clubs, check out a solo show from Jackie Mason, Daniel Sloss or Adam Riches or work- in-progress from Michael McIntyre or Jon Richardson
