Late-night tube, late-night socials – Thinking Bob goes 24/7

London is a 24/7 cosmopolitan city, and from the early hours of 12 September, the city will have a tube timetable to match its thriving nightlife.

Yes, the late-night tubes mean Londoners no longer need to brave the night bus and they can enjoy last orders without the manic run to the tube. But the real reason to celebrate is that Londoners can now enjoy late-night socials with Thinking Bob.

Thinking Bob is an online and offline social network, which brings people together through events to help Londoners and those new to the city meet people with similar interests – and are on the same page as them. It’s essentially a real-life social community that combines the network of social media with the experience of social events.

For a generation accustomed to using dating sites to meet loved ones, this is a friendship site to meet liked ones.

Famed for creative, quirky and thoroughly enjoyable events such as Bob-hemian Rhapsody, The Music Quiz; Wheel of Bobtune; CityImpro’s Bullshit Tour at the Victoria and Albert Museum; Nooks and Corners of the City Walking Tour; Thinking Bob summer barbeque and retro sports day, Thinking Bob is the perfect curator of Londoners’ late nights.

The new late night socials from Thinking Bob include…

– 11 September: Late Night London Spies

Thinking Bob will host its first Late Night London Spies event – a James Bond-themed spy adventure using an interactive app to guide teams around the streets at night. It’s a ‘race against the clock’ treasure hunt-styled game, where members will interact with characters and use special black-light torches to hunt out UV evidence.

– 12 September: Midnight Stories of London

Late-night story-telling, ‘Jack the Ripper’ style, on the streets of London, with City Improv – get under the skin of the goings on in the city, as the dark streets unveil a story only to be experienced after hours.

– 18 September: Up All Night Board Game Club

Late night pop-up games night with pizza and cocktails

19 September: Secrets of the Underground Tour

Dark secrets of the underground exclusively for Thinking Bob members. Our expert guide will lead us on an after-dark tour to reveal plenty of interesting and unusual facts that not even the most seasoned commuters will know.

– 26 September: Midnight Murder Mystery

A special Las Vegas-styled murder mystery with after-hours suspense.

Dubbed as London’s ‘smart’ social club, Thinking Bob is not a dating app that creates matches based on someone’s aesthetics or how often you’ve crossed paths with them. Instead, it’s designed to help Londoners meet people on the same wavelength – connecting people through fun events and socials.

And Thinking Bobbers can meet new friends and enjoy new events for less than their dating counterparts. Thinking Bob members enjoy all the online chat and interaction and a host of events and socials every month, all from just £15 a month (with a £1 initial trial month).

On average there are more than 55 events and socials every month for Bobbers to chose from. All socials and events are open to members only. Thinking Bob is a growing community of 6,500 members across London, all meeting regularly for socials and events in the city.
