When I moved to London to live with my then partner I ended up with a set of friends who were all couples. When we decided to split, I ended up with no one I really knew who would want to go out and about. I put an ad on Gumtree and invited 8 people around for Sunday Lunch (it was a fair mix) and I'm still friends with 5 of them! I'm not sure that Gumtree still does the friends thing but I just searched for meets on Facebook and there are a fair few social gatherings around your area.
