Full of charming London hotels, restaurants and bars, London is most definitely a city for lovers. Why not surprise your loved one with one of these less obvious activities on your trip.
GREENWICH Make sure to pack your sea legs as a cruise along the Thames to Greenwich is a must for lovers. With manyLondon hotels, situated near the river, catch one of the many cruisers and head for the top deck - the boat ride takes you past some of the city's most famous landmarks and you'll disembark at a place even the most heartened hearts will fall in love with. Greenwich, where time began, is charming; couples will particularly love the National Maritime Museum's Royal Observatory, where you can learn all about the stars in the sky.
ICE SKATING Winter visitors will delight in a cosy but cool ice skating trip around Somerset House. Come November, the courtyard of this historic house is transformed into a winter wonderland! Book your slot as dusk is setting and skate arm in arm around the rink whilst taking in the beautifully lit house and surroundings. Or head to the Natural History Museum or Tower of London, where similar outdoor rinks are set up. It's like sight-seeing on ice! Stop off for a cheeky mulled wine on the way home to your London hotels,
MARKETS London is full of markets - this may not sound the most romantic way to spend your day, but there is something remarkably London about strolling through one of the city's many food or flower markets and picking up something for a romantic treat. Treat your loved one to a traditional bunch of roses or opt for something more exotic at the Colombia Road Flower Market, one of London's most famous. Even if you're not green fingered, the market is a breathtaking place for all the senses. Or, if you're a budding Gordon Ramsay, Borough Market is sure to get your creative juices flowing. A lively and vibrant market, stalls selling all types of food jostle for space alongside street cafes, coffee bars and more.
PARKS Despite being a city, London is incredibly green and boasts a number of beautiful and historic parks and gardens just perfect for a picnic for two. Choose from a gardener's dream of Kew Gardens, take a paddle or a pedalo out on the Serpentine in Hyde Park or take in the 22.5 hectares of flowers, plants, woodland and more of Holland Park.
