London's most eligible singles for summer 2025: A-listers and aristocrats from Iris Law to Noel Gallagher

Ready to mingle: London’s toast of the town - (ES Composite)

It is officially uncuffing season, when celebrities and hoi polloi alike free themselves from the shackles of monogamy. With summer fast approaching, here are London’s most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes to keep an eye out for.

Iris Law

It’s been almost a year since Jude Law and Sadie Frost’s 24-year-old model daughter split with outgoing Liverpool footballer Trent Alexander-Arnold. She’s softly spoken, always smiley, and is happiest when travelling around remote villages on her regular trips to Japan. Applicants should polish up on their knowledge of obscure green tea variations and London’s best Japanese cafes.

Noel Gallagher

It was Noel’s pretty nasty “£20 million” divorce from Sara McDonald in 2023 that helped reboot the lights that lead the way to one of the main events of summer 2025: the Oasis reunion. Getting a ticket on that tour bus will see you go from Heaton Park to Seoul.

Lily Allen

After four years of marriage, the Smile singer turned podcast host split from David Harbour and has set her sights on London life. Allen has bought a flat “in a social housing building” which she says she has wanted to live in “since I was a baby”. Very precocious. Expect sightings of her out west, then.

Peregrine Pearson

Split? Peregrine Pearson and Sophie Turner (Dave Benett)

The scion of one of Britain’s richest aristo families is rumoured to be back on the market. Thirty-year-old Perry was dating Game of Thrones actress Sophie Turner, but the pair haven’t been pictured together in months. While they haven’t confirmed anything publicly, they did recently unfollow each other on Instagram — a smoking gun in today’s world.

When he is not waiting for the new Pope to be announced in the Vatican, Styles can be spotted on Lime bikes between Hampstead Heath (home) and Marylebone (home of his favourite matcha shop, How Matcha!). Wild swimmers take note: his last girlfriend was Canadian actress Taylor Russell, and the pair would go for dips in the Hampstead ponds.

Simone Ashley

She was the star of Bridgerton season two, and is now a darling of the high society set — often found on the arm of some of London’s hottest fashion designers. For three years until January 2025 she dated Constantin “Tino” Klein, a luxury watches and cars specialist.

Central Cee

Various salacious rumours about Cench’s love life have been laid bare on social media, including a love triangle with singer Ice Spice and TikToker Madeline Argy. The rapper, who harks from SheBu, is currently on tour and is very receptive to women who wait for him in the arrivals area of whichever airport he is jetting into. He also has extraordinary skin.

King Charles’s goddaughter made her way into the tabloids after being linked to bad boy chef Thomas Straker. That’s all over now though, and the princess appears invested in her studies across the pond at NYU. She will be back in town for the summer parties and likes her first dates at Kiln, “as my date has no choice but to sit next to me and the food and drinks are epic,” she told the Standard.

Archie Lorne

When he’s not in London, the Radley-educated Marquess of Lorne is almost always found in tartan at a posh Highlands bash. The 21-year-old heir to Inveraray Castle simply loves to party. Until recently, his Instagram bio read: “Post Traumatic Sesh Disorder”. Too right!

Olivia Dean

The Haringey-born, stunningly beautiful 26-year-old singer is set to have a busy summer supporting Sam Fender and, excitingly, Sabrina Carpenter when she plays BST Hyde Park. Work on getting the backstage wristband. Whispers were she was dating Harry Styles last year, but they do not seem to have come to fruition.

Joe Alwyn

Still single two years on from his pored over break-up with Taylor Swift in 2023, following a six-year stint with the queen of the skewering heartbreak anthem. The “London Boy”, who was raised in Tufnell Park, has publicly stated he has “moved on”.

Margarita Armstrong-Jones

The 23-year-old granddaughter of Princess Margaret loves perusing vintage shops on Portobello, designing jewellery and trading W11 for some far-flung destination. Her grandmother may have loved the Caribbean private island of Mustique, but Margarita is more into places like Kyrgyzstan. Romantic getaway, anyone?
