Online dating websites and apps are an awesome way for an expat living in London to survey the local scene and potentially hookup with a great new romantic partner, especially if you have just arrived in town.
A hyperlocal dating app based in London called Happn recently surveyed its users for a list of the names they found were the most attractive.
Now, we don’t encourage you to tell porkies on your online dating profiles; interestingly though, these names and jobs will snag you more clicks and taps than swipes.
