A couple’s guide to London
If you’re after a romantic break for yourself and your partner, London is a great choice. It’s near, so easily accessible, and has a vast amount of amazing romantic activities to send you both starry-eyed.
London is a city that is famed for all-year-round romance – here; amorous antics aren’t restricted to February 14th. Whether you’re planning your capital get-away in the summer, spring, autumn or winter, you’re sure to show that important person in your life just how much you care.
Here’s a handy list of some of the best, including things for every budget, taste, and some to offer something a little bit different.
Chocolate walking tours
What could be more appealing that a partnership of chocolate and...well...your partner? The London Chocolate Tours in Chelsea/Knightsbridge offer an exploration of the origin of chocolate, with a few (necessary!) samples chocolate and hot chocolate along the way. There’s also the option to try chilli chocolate...if you can stand the fire!
Theatre breaks
This is good for centring your whole trip around. Find great London theatre breaks by coach and let coach holiday companies do all the hard work for you. Engross yourself in a live masterpiece in London’s famous West End, and relax knowing your hotel and transport has been taken care of. These are also particularly great for those with high standards, as coach holiday providers have a team of experts who are dedicated to finding you the very best hotel for your funds, and are on hand if you should need any further assistance.
Pay a visit to John Keats’s house
Known for being one of the most romantic poets of all time, this is a great choice for lovers as his home for his short 25 years of life has been transformed into a museum. It was this home in Hampstead where he wrote his most famous piece Ode to a Nightingale, in love of his neighbour, so take a pen and paper, and see if you or your loved one gets inspired!
Dine at Dans le Noir
An alternative (and very unique) choice for new couples, this restaurant is free from any kind of light – both natural and artificial. The waiters are blind, and lead you through the pitch black restaurant and serve you food (meat, vegetarian and seafood options available) without knowing what you’re eating. This is truly an experience for those who want to find their soul mate based on personality, or for those long-lasting couples who want an experience of an evening with their partner from a different perspective.
Take a dinner cruise along the Thames
With a variety of companies offering different options, you’ll definitely find something to spice up your evening with a dinner cruise tour of the Thames. Renowned for their luxury, food quality and exceptional service, these allow couples the chance to see London’s sights from a different perspective, whilst enjoying a romantic meal and champagne. Many providers also have on-board entertainment, lasting anything up to 11pm.
