5 Romantic Things To Do In London For A Trip For Two! 

Love is the one thing that moves us forward. It fills us up with joy and happiness. However, you need to invest in love to keep it alive. All those feelings of love you have in your romantic relationship can slowly disintegrate into frustration, pain, and… nothingness only if you don’t invest time, listening, loving, and actually showing up when the things get tough.

Well, time is the most precious gift. You invest that time to make your partner feel good, or in other words, you need to invest your time in romance. And you don’t have to become the “prince in shining armor” nor a “damsel in distress” in order to achieve that. A quiet romantic dinner, simple walk through the park, or sending flowers by post in London, would do the trick. There is no need to travel to Dubai, Mauritius, or Seychelles only to be romantic.

Believe it or not, London has beaten Rome, Paris and Milan as the most romantic city in the whole Europe, at least according to a poll made by a very popular dating website. People actually prefer London’s parks, nightlife and restaurants over the above mentioned cities. That could come in handy to anyone that has been planning a romantic weekend getaway with your partner.

Best things for couples to do in London

I don’t care if you are having an anniversary or just planning a romantic weekend getaway in London, there are lots of things you can do in London with your partner. Everything from supper clubs and cocktail bars, to live music, burlesque shows, canal cruises, outdoor movie theatres, and catching a beautiful sunset at Greenwich Park.

Here is our pick of London’s most romantic things to do as a couple.

1. Little Venice

OK, you can do a lot of things in London. However, if you want romance, you really want peace. This is why Little Venice is one of the most romantic places in London. It is a stretch of Grand Canal in north west London filled with colorful houseboats and beautiful little coffee shops. It is a perfect place to stroll with your partner during Spring time and it is very close to the Warwick Avenue Metro Station. One of the best things about it is that not many tourists know about is.

2. Helicopter tour

Is there anything more trilling than heights? And is there more romantic than watching a beautiful sunset with your partner? Well, now you only have to combine the two and to add London’s beautiful scenery to that. This is one of the best things couple can do in London. Just go for a helicopter ride, witness some of the most famous landmarks in the world, and wait for that sunset. This could even be the best opportunity for you to “bend the knee” and present that beautiful diamond ring. Just saying.

3. London’s Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre/ Globe Theatre/ Notting Hill Cinema

I know that Shakespeare is maybe a little bit “over the top” or just “not your cup of tea”, but you need to get out of that “comfort zone” and try changing things if you want a successful relationship. Only a handful of activities scream “summer” as loudly as driving your lovely date to an outdoor theatre, having a short stroll through nature on a beautiful sunny day, an ice cream with your true love, and an enjoyable play under the bright blue sky.

On the other hand, if it is not a sunny day and you two want to spend some time in a cinema, we recommend Notting Hill. The entire front row velvet double bed makes this cinema one of the most romantic movie dates you can get. On the top of that, it is one of the oldest working cinemas in the country so it is a classic! Combine all of that, steal a couple of kisses, and hold hands throughout the entire show. Romance in a nutshell.

4. Treat your loved one with a gift!

London is filled with chocolate shops, tattoo shops, and markets. You can shop for some jewelry at Hatton Garden, go from one shop to another in the Burlington Arcade (this place is… timeless), enjoy a chocolate at one of London’s extraordinary chocolate shops, or just browse through London’s best flower shops.

The couple that shops together and actually stays together throughout the entire shopping process is the one that will last for a long time. A thing as simple as shopping will make their bond even tighter.

Apart from these locations, you may go to London Eye, reach the heights and enjoy the view, visit the Buckingham Palace and (or) Big Ben – get to the bridge, find some peaceful place and whisper the words of love.

5. Romance is everywhere around you.

Whatever you decide to do and wherever you decide to be, that is where you belong.
