A first date idea
A short course at City Lit
City Lit runs daytime, evening and weekend adult courses in London, from one-off talks and tasters to courses over a few weeks. In-person classes run at its Keeley Street centre. Signing up for a few weeks of life drawing or Spanish is a gentle way to see if someone follows through.
