Speed dating legend has it that the concept was originally devised by a Jewish rabbi by the name of Yaacov Deyo, as a means of facilitating Jewish weddings in Los Angeles. From its LA origins in the late 1990s, the concept of speed dating quickly began to spread rapidly around the world.
London was the first UK city to hold speed dating events and now lunch time and evening events are held up and down the country, every day. Hundreds of thousands of single people have met at events, with many of them going on to be great friends.
