Redefining Social Connections in London

Hailed by Timeout and Eventbrite as one of London's top monthly events, The FriendZone is back and revolutionising connecting through 'Social Skydiving' - the art of talking to strangers.

It comes naturally to Londoners to avoid eye contact, minimise smiles, mumble any gratitude and avoid conversations with strangers at all costs. But there are lots of great people out there, many of whom will bring joy to your life for years to come, and this evening of games, competitions and fun in general will help you find some of them. It’s not a dating night, and you’re not expected to fly solo – the more friends you bring the more friends you’re likely to make. Just come along ready to get involved and see who the night takes you to.
