Five Romantic Dates in London

There is more to romantic dates in London than fancy & expensive restaurants in central London.

While it’s easy to go down the tried and tested route of dinner at Nobu, it might also be nice to visit some of London’s lesser-known romantic hideaways. At Allure, our gorgeous girls are more than happy to accompany you wherever you’d like to go. They’ll appreciate all the thought you’ve put into a date and look forward to doing something different for once.

We have compiled a list of creative and unusual dates to inspire you. They are still very romantic, but less noticeable than the usual upmarket haunts. From Hampstead to the South Bank – we have got it all.

Clos Maggiore, Covent Garden – 33 King St, WC2E 8JD

If you are a creature of habit and love a good restaurant in central London with a hot date, then Clos Maggiore is really something special. Sometimes, the best romantic dates in London are the tried-and-tested dinner dates. Nestled in Covent Garden, this beautiful eatery is adorned with flowering branches and fairy lights. The cuisine is described as European fusion, modern yet exceptional. Seasonal and, where possible, locally sourced produce is used to provide an award-winning dining experience. Clos Maggiore also boasts an impressive wine cellar, featuring around 2,500 wines and numerous vintage bottles to choose from. What makes this place special is that you can taste many rare wines by the glass thanks to the “Coravin” system. This place will not disappoint you; just add a pretty girl, and you have the perfect romantic date.

The London Eye – Champagne Flight, South Bank

Experience a flight of fancy on the London Eye with champagne – arguably one of the most romantic dates in London. Fast entry and a glass of champagne on arrival will make you and your date feel on top of the world. Well, above London at least. From your gondola, you have a 360-degree view of this fabulous city. The ride takes only 30 minutes and is a great conversation starter that won’t consume the entire date. From there, you can easily head to the Sky Lounge or one of the other restaurants on the South Bank for an unforgettable date.

Enjoy the view from Primrose Hill

Whether you are a Londoner or a visitor, everyone has seen Primrose Hill from films such as Paddington, Bridget Jones’ Diary and 28 Days Later, as well as the paparazzi shots from the 90s where every Britpop sensation lived in the neighbourhood. You and a beautiful companion can enjoy the breathtaking views, perhaps with a coffee or even a bottle of champagne.

Columbia Road Flower Market

If you happen to be in London over a weekend, then a stroll through Columbia Road with a beautiful date is a must. Vibrant blooms and green plants fill every inch of Columbia Road. A sensory overload of colour, scents and wonder awaits. Come rain or shine, stalls line the street with every plant and posy imaginable, from cacti to carnations. Aside from the flower stalls, you will discover plenty of independent coffee shops, bistros and shops to enjoy and peruse with a gorgeous companion.

Take a stroll along the Regents Canal

A serene sanctuary in the city. The Regents Canal is a tranquil escape from the bustling streets of nearby Camden. The brightly painted narrow boats and slower pace along the Regents Canal make a stark contrast to the noisy traffic of black cabs and London buses down the road. You and a beautiful companion can recharge your batteries as you stroll along the canal path, enjoying the peace and quiet this area offers.
