    Romantic Restaurants in London

    Many restaurants in London will offer a special Valentine’s menu for these dates, but we must point out that these restaurants get booked up very quickly, so we highly recommend that you book in advance. Some of our favourite romantic restaurants in London are Clos Maggiore, voted the most romantic restaurant in London several years in a row, and Hutong, located on the 33rd floor of The Shard, the tallest building in London.

    Another option is to have lunch or dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe in London, either the one located next to Hyde Park or the one in Piccadilly Circus. It is not unusual to have to queue to get into the Hard Rock Cafe in London at peak times, so booking is essential.

    See the stars at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich Park

    The Royal Observatory in Greenwich offers us the possibility of spending a Night with the Stars; what could possibly be more romantic? This can either be enjoyed as a couple or even as a family for those that would still like to celebrate Valentine´s Day as a family. Tickets sell out fast for this event, so booking in advance is essential.

    Go on the London Eye

    Going on the London Eye is always going to be an option for Valentine’s Day, as the breathtaking views are very romantic, and is currently one of the most popular places to propose! We highly recommend buying tickets in advance to avoid the queues; find out more in our article: London Eye.

    Also, if you want it to be a super special occasion and you don’t mind spending a little more, it is possible to book a private capsule with champagne and chocolates on the official London Eye´s website: Valentinés Day at the London Eyevalentine´s day in London

    Take in the views of London from The Shard

    Going up to the 72nd floor of the tallest building in London can also be a very romantic plan, especially if you go at sunset. From The View From The Shard, you will have impressive views of London, but you will especially see the famous Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.

    Get tickets to one of London’s best musicals

    One of the most romantic ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day in London is with traditional British Afternoon Tea.

    One of our favourite options is doing a Tour on a London Vintage Bus Tour and Afternoon Tea at Harrods if you are visiting London to celebrate Valentine´s Day.
