Here’s a top selection of the best ways to ensure you have a memorably romantic weekend in the capital.
Music by candlelight
Enjoy an evening of classical music by the flickering glow of candlelight to make your trip to London special. From Vivaldi to Handel, the London Musical Arts Ensemble revives the world’s greatest music at the incredible St Martin-in-the-Fields. So, you know you’re in for an enchanting evening.
Cocktails, me Hearty
Liven up your weekend away with a fun, pirate-themed cocktail experience. Set on a real ship, you and your partner get your own pirate hats to wear as you both sip on a selection of tasty cocktails in this quirky, swash-bucking tasting session that neither of you will forget.
Step back in time
What do you think date-nights were like in the 1920s? Come find out with Lost Love Speakeasy. This is a secret, jazz-themed event where you can dress in period clothing and enjoy an illicit evening of glamour, live music, crazy dancing, and prohibition drinks. Grab your partner and go underground for an evening of raucous fun!
High dining
Looking to treat your partner to a meal they won’t forget in a hurry? Head to Greenwich for a dining experience like no other. Sky High Dining at the Emirates Air Line offers a five-course meal that you can enjoy in pods that ‘fly’ over the city; delivering spectacular views that will stay in your memory for years to come.
Bake-off
If you and your partner both think you’re the best in the kitchen, use your trip to London to find out. The Big London Bake is a food event that gives you and your partner 90 minutes to create a culinary masterpiece. You can choose to go in a team of two and work together, plus you even get all the ingredients you need included. Are you up for the challenge?
Everything in one
Deciding what to do on date-night is often tough for many couples. So, make it easier by heading to Queens Ice and Bowl in Notting Hill for year-round ice-skating, VIP lounges, bowling lanes, delicious drinks, and incredible food. This place seems to have it all and it means you can spend hours having fun together without having to move from one place to another.
Relax under the stars
Maybe you’re looking for something more chilled to enjoy with your partner in London. If so, think about taking them to see one of their favourite films courtesy of Pop Up Screens. This events company offers a wide collection of movies for you to watch in various places across the city. It’s a great place to bring a picnic and unwind together after a day of sightseeing and shopping in the capital.
Considering some of the above for your next romantic rendezvous? Don’t forget to make the trip perfect with quality accommodation such as a stay at an LSA aparthotel in London.
