Reasons to keep showing up

  • After having a difficult time trying to meet people in London having moved in the last two years, I had tried this after seeing ads on instagram and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a very low stakes meet up at a fairly priced establishment so you’re not breaking the bank to meet people. But you’re also finding genuine connections with people who have common interests.

  • Timeleft is a great app for meeting new people and discovering new places to visit in London.

  • I was at a birthday dinner and asked a girl how she met my friend. She said at a Timeleft dinner! I had never heard of the app, but I decided to give it a go. I have been to two dinners so far and plan to go to more…
