Dating in Southwark
From a first drink to a new lover in Southwark
Southwark offers much more than one central meeting spot. Tell people whether the riverside, Peckham or Dulwich suits you, and be clear about the kind of sex or dating you are hoping to find.
You decide what you are looking for and how quickly to take things. A clear profile and an honest first message are usually the best place to begin.

A practical local guide
Planning a meeting in Southwark
Choose a riverside pub for a central meeting or Dulwich for art, gardens and a meal. These are alternatives in different parts of the borough, not stops on one short walk.
The riverside or Dulwich?
Founder's Arms on Hopton Street is a different plan from the gallery and pub in Dulwich. Pick the neighbourhood first, then a particular venue. If you choose the gallery, agree whether you want paid entry or the free garden.
Leave time to talk
Agree how much time you both have for the first meeting. If you choose an exhibition, screening or meal, leave room for a conversation before or afterwards and plan your own journey home.
Check the official venue or visitor information before travelling: Founder's Arms visitor information · Dulwich Picture Gallery visitor information.

Places for a first drink, meal or walk
Choose somewhere you both want to go, with time to talk and see whether the attraction is mutual.
Founder's Arms
At 52 Hopton Street, the riverside pub offers drinks and food near Tate Modern. Pick a clear meeting point and check table availability if you want a meal rather than a quick drink.
Dulwich Picture Gallery
The gallery offers an art date, with a free Sculpture Garden and a cafe option. Check gallery tickets and opening times; Dulwich Park is opposite if you would also like a daytime walk.
The Crown & Greyhound
At 73 Dulwich Village, the pub provides a food-and-drink choice in the same neighbourhood. Look at the menu and book ahead if you want to continue an afternoon with dinner.
Check opening times, menus and availability directly before travelling. These are suggestions for an ordinary first date; the venues are not affiliated with The Adult Cafe. Venue links open in a new tab. Information checked 28 October 2026.
