I need single mum friends!

I’ve recently split from my 3-year old’s dad, it’s been a protracted break up with lots of back and forth but we’re finally settled in separate homes. He has her Tuesday and Friday nights/some of Saturday, which is working for us (for now).
My problem is I don’t know anyone in my situation. I have child-free friends, and friends with kids who in relationships, but no single mum friends, so at weekends especially everyone’s either doing things as a family or things that I can’t bring a 3-year old along to.
How do I find other single parent friends?! Especially women/queer men, I need some space from straight men at the moment! Are there meet ups? There must be a percentage of single parents at the playground etc but I don’t want to quiz everyone on their relationship status as an opener.
I’m in East London.

Have you heard of the Peanut app? It's like online dating for Mum friends 🤣🤣 you even swipe left and right haha. You can put the type of friend you are looking for and potential "matches" will come up in your area. I've met a really good friend through this app 😀
