In fact, in the capital's financial district, there are 155 single men per 100 single women.
And for single men? Their best chance of finding a partner could be in Knowsley, Merseyside, where there are 120 single women per 100 single men.
The study, which unveils Britain's top hotspots when it comes to looking for love, has been commissioned by dating website eHarmony.
Interestingly, London is incredibly popular for singletons with a number of the hotspots found in the area. For example, the capital is rife with single women with six boroughs in the top 10 list, while three boroughs are in the top 10 for single men.
When it comes to the single women in Britain, Enfield claimed second place, with 116 single females for 100 single men, with Wandsworth (114), Barking and Dagenham (113) and Chichester (113) rounding off the top five.
While the London borough of Newham comes in second for the most amount of single men with 126 per 100 single women, with the Isles of Scilly (119), Cambridge (117) and Forest Heath (117) finishing the top five.
Bromley (113), Croydon (111) and Hammersmith and Fulham (111) also made the top ten list for single women, while Stafford (116), Tower Hamlets (115) and Eden (114) made the list for single men.
Elsewhere in the report, single men appear to congregate in the countryside while single women are to be found in town and cities. Overall, young single women – aged between 18 and 34 – are fewer than young single men, as women enter relationships younger than men, on average.
For men who do wish to find love, they are advised to head to the city, where there are 88 young single women for every 100 men, as opposed to just 81 in rural areas. The findings also revealed that there is a "doughnut effect" in London, with a higher ratio of single women living in the outer boroughs such as Enfield, Bromley, Barking and Dagenham, while a higher ratio of single men exists in the middle of the capital.
The report, which has been based on the estimated number of single men and women aged between 18 and 64 in different local area districts, also suggested that the singles gap in rural areas could widen further over the next 10 years, as more country-based women move to urban areas for a career and higher earnings.
Romain Bertrand, from eHarmony, commented: "Meeting that special someone can be tough.
"With busier lives than ever it can be hard to find the time to get out there and meet people, and sometimes it's a case of simply not being in the right place at the right time.
"That's where online dating can really make a difference. We know it can be hard for some people to meet a special someone and we wanted to explore the reasons behind this, including location."
Bertrand continued: "As the pay-gap between men and women shrinks over the next decade, driving a high number of females to pursue careers in cities, we expect the 'singles gap' to get even bigger – with even more single women in urban areas, and conversely less in rural communities.
"As a result, single men in rural areas and single women in urban areas will increase proportionally and we believe many will solve this issue through online dating. As the 'singles gap' grows, the odds will become increasingly stacked against single men and women who live in certain areas, who simply have less people to choose from than those living elsewhere."
