by kalyani10
London is one of the major financial power centers of the world besides offering an incredibly luxurious lifestyle. Here the super rich can be found working hard to add on to those millions and playing harder to spend them. So if you are in London and are dreaming to pair up with one of its rich boys, here is where to look.
- Upscale Hangouts
Every millionaire, whether self-made or an inheritor, needs to relax with a drink now and then. So some of the easiest places to meet rich single men in London would be its swanky pubs and bars. And among the most stylish places where the big boys of finance are known to hang out are Berkeley Square in Mayfair and the Dover Street wine bars while the Red Lion in Crown Passage are known to serve the aristocracy as well. The best part about chatting up guys at one of these places is that they would likely to be in a relaxed frame of mind and keen on socializing with you.

- Fine Dining Places
London is justifiably renowned as home to some of the most expensive fine dining places in the world. Destinations like Quo Vadis , Gordon Ramsay’s, Murano and Nobu usually have long waiting lists even for the richest patrons. However if you manage to get a table, you may spot a millionaire to two sampling his caviar or truffles. The only hitch in this plan is that in all probability the guy would be dining in company but nothing dared, nothing gained, right?
- Premium Gyms
Other places where you are likely to bump into the hedge-funders are where they are building their pecs and abs. Some of the most premium gyms in London are the Kensington Virgin Active gym, Broadgate Virgin Active gym or the KX Gym in Chelsea. While buying a membership at any of these addresses might set you back by a few thousand pounds, it may be worth the investment when you discover that the guy on next treadmill rakes in a cool 500k plus merely as a bonus.
- Semi-professional events
Do a bit of homework on the most successful professions in London. These are bound to include bankers, businessmen, media moguls, lawyers and consultant physicians. Then look up classifieds or listings in your local newspaper which mention workshops, conventions or fund-raising dinners revolving around these professions that are going to be held in near future. Try to attend these either by cadging an invitation or accompanying someone you know and you will find the biggest successes in the particular professional field thronging the venue. The only downslide of this approach may be that at semi-professional events, the guys may not be willing to talk of dates but then you can always use these opportunities to build up the groundwork.
- Up market areas
Yet another way of coming across rich single men in London is to frequent the areas where they live and socialize. These would be the locations with the best demographic profile and the highest residential property prices. Mayfair, Chelsea, Kensington Gardens, Grosvenor Square, Knightsbridge, Belgravia, Covent Garden and Notting Hill in London are some such areas and parties, pubs, cafes, parks as well as gyms here can be safely assumed to have the potential to throw a millionaire or two in your way.
- Cultural Events
If you are planning to catch the attention of guys who come loaded, haunting the average movie theater or art gallery won’t do. Rather keep an eye out for the most exclusive of events like movie and theatrical premieres at pricey West End venues. Other than that you could also try your luck at some of the most expensive movie shows like the evening ones at Odeon Leicester Square or even the upscale halls at Everyman and Electric. Since London is also the seat of British royalty, cultural events with an adequate sprinkling of dukes, earls, knights or their young wards can also help you rub shoulders with male, inherited title-holders.
- Shops selling Boys’ Toys
What do the rich boys all over the world like to indulge in – why cars of course! So the next time you want to be dated in style, prepare the groundwork by hanging out at expensive garages like H. R. Owen’s which sell only Ferraris, Buggattis, Rollers and the like. Rich guys are sure to frequent these outlets when they want a particularly fast one to drive. However it may take a lot of nerve to explain your presence there but you could pull it off by saying you are looking for something to gift daddy dearest. Just be careful how you proceed after that!
- Exclusive Clubs
London abounds with clubs where only the richest and the aristocratic are members. White’s, Athenaeum, St James , Caledonian and Clifton’s are some of the most exclusive gentlemen’s clubs in the city. While these are sure to have rich patrons, managing an entry into their hallowed portals may pose something of a challenge. On the other hand there are clubs built around specific but expensive interest like yachting, tennis, polo and riding where it may easier to find access and thus socialize with its members. In fact polo matches, equestrian shows and yachting events are some of the biggest highlights in London’s social calendar and you may be surprised at how easy it may be to cadge an entry to some of these events. A report titled “Internet beauty asks for rich husband” in the online edition of The Sunday Times dated October 14, 2007, in fact mentions that “Some big companies actually hire girls to entertain the bored businessmen tooling round the tents”.
- Find work or volunteer
Finally if you find gaining access to the exclusive clubs and social events too much of a strain on your resources or your ingenuity, try to find employment or volunteer work among the rich. Working as a nanny for the kids of a rich divorced dad or as staff at some of the most expensive spas and clubs in London might offer you equally valuable opportunities to capture the attention of single rich men.
