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

Meet new people

  • Harry Potter tour

    Meet fellow 'Harry Potter' fans on this tour which explores the London film locations and inspirations for JK Rowling's books

  • Craftivista Social Club

    Mingle with creative types or find solace in sewing at this event organised by The East London Craft Guerilla

  • Pleasure Garden Ball

    An evening of dancing, drinking and decadence in honour of the Georgian pastime of strutting your stuff in the pleasure garden

Treat yourself

  • Unwind at a spa

    Pamper yourself at one of London's top spas. Relax and unwind with a facial, massage or all-over body treatment guaranteed to ease any Valentine's stress

  • Buy yourself flowers

    Fresh flowers brighten up a room and can brighten up a mood, so splash out on a bouquet from one of London's best indie florists for some Valentine's cheer

  • Eat a slap-up meal

    Feasting like a king needn't cost the earth if you take advantage of Time Out's restaurant offers, which include top restaurants from all over the capital
