Erith Hookups: Erith Women Want to Meet

Casual sex and no-strings meets on the Thames, between Bexley, Dartford and the river.

Hookups in Erith, where London turns coastal

London's longest pier isn't in the West End or anywhere near it. It's in Erith, 13 miles east of Charing Cross on the south bank of the Thames, where the city gives way to salt marsh and working riverside. Erith was a Kent town until 1965 and has belonged to the London Borough of Bexley ever since. It is the borough's only town on the river, and once you step back from the water it's mostly suburban streets.

The riverside has changed a lot since the late 1990s. New flats have gone up along the water since 2000, the regeneration plans add homes and commercial space to the town centre, and campaigners won Lottery money in 2020 to bring the old library building back into use. The curved high street by the river still keeps three listed buildings, among them the parish church and the Carnegie Building. For sex in Erith, the practical point is that the town is well connected for its size: trains run into central London and out into Kent, and a dual carriageway runs to Thamesmead.

Meet by the water in Erith

Erith's landmarks are mostly on the river, which makes a first meeting easy to plan.

The pier
Riverside Gardens
Erith Riverside Festival
The London LOOP
Green Chain Walk
Thames Path at Crayford Ness

Start at the pier or in Riverside Gardens, where the annual Erith Riverside Festival is held: both are open, public and simple to describe to someone who has never been. If you'd both rather walk than sit, Erith is where the London Outer Orbital Path begins and one of the starting points of the Green Chain Walk, and the Thames Path National Trail sets off from nearby Crayford Ness. A walk gives you time to work out whether there's any spark before anyone suggests going back to theirs.

Keep the first meeting in daylight or somewhere with people around, tell a friend your plans, and read our safety page on blocking and reporting.

Dartford, Bexley and the towns across the Thames

Kent is still only a few miles away. Dartford is about three miles to the south-east, Bexley about the same distance away, and Swanley under six, with Bexleyheath lying to the south-west. On the far bank, Dagenham is under five miles off, and Romford, East Ham and Grays are all around six and a half. Those are straight-line distances, and the Thames sits in the way, so think about the route before you set your match distance.

Getting it right in Erith

Are there enough people near Erith for a hookup?

Erith itself is mostly suburban, but our figures cover everyone within 25 miles, from London and Bromley to Gravesend and Southend-on-Sea. A little over a third of those members are women.

Where's an easy first meeting spot in Erith?

The pier or Riverside Gardens: both public, both on the river and both easy to find. If it's going well, the riverside paths give you somewhere to carry on talking.

Can I meet someone from the other side of the river?

Yes, but plan the route. Dagenham, Romford and Grays are all within seven miles as the crow flies, yet the Thames sits between you, so agree a meeting point that works for both of you.
