A report has found that Wimbledon has the most romantic residents in London but a relationship expert has declared that more of them need to date.
The Love in London report from the online dating service Alone.com, said 58 per cent of Wimbledon users go dating in search of love rather than sex, which is the highest proportion in London.
But SW19 has one of the worst dating records with less than one in five people going on one date per week.
Dating and relationships expert Flic Everett said: "People from the Wimbledon area are among London's choosiest daters with comparatively few actively searching for a partner."
She added: "Wimbledon is very family orientated with a generally older demographic.
"There are fewer sex-crazed 25 to 34-year-olds and a greater number of 35 to 44-year-olds which, as the report shows, are much less likely to date for sex and much more likely to be dating for security and a long-term partner."
Over a quarter of people believe that Fulham and Chelsea are the best places in London to meet a new romantic prospect, with the majority of people favouring a restaurant for a first date rather than the cinema or going to a bar.
British nationalities are the most popular choice of date in Wimbledon with American, Australian and Mediterranean as a second preference.
