Valentine’s Day is nearly upon us, and there’s no better place to celebrate this day with your partner than in London. The city is full of fantastic restaurants and romantic activities for you to enjoy. Today we’re going to share some of our top suggestions for how to make this Valentine’s Day in London one to remember.
Book a Romantic Meal for Two
There’s no limit to the number of great restaurants to choose from in London when it comes to celebrating Valentine’s Day. Choose from a delicious Chinese meal in Chinatown or a meal with a view in one of the many high-rise buildings in the city. As Valentine’s Day is such a popular night to dine out, make sure you book your favourite restaurant well in advance to avoid missing out.
A Romantic Walking Tour of London
For anyone who doesn’t want to spend a fortune on Valentine’s Day, the good news is there are many free or inexpensive activities you can do near our Tottenham Court Road, Bloomsbury or Farringdon/Hatton Garden hotels. One of our favourite activities is taking a walking tour with your partner around some of the most romantic spots in the city. We love strolling along the river, seeing sights such as London Bridge, the Tower of London, and the London Eye. You can stop for a snack or drink along the way, admiring the sun go down if you time your walk correctly.
See a West End Show
Another great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year in London is to book a West End show. You’ll find there are shows to appeal to everyone’s musical tastes, such as Wicked, The Lion King, or Hamilton. Make sure you book your tickets in advance to avoid missing out on a show you really want to see, as this is one of the busiest times in the city to see a show. To try and get discounted tickets for West End shows, visit the booth in Leicester Square, which offers some cheaper tickets based on last-minute availability.
Take Your Partner on a London Shopping Trip
If you are looking for the perfect gift for your partner this Valentine’s Day, why not head out together to find them their ideal present? With so many great shopping areas to choose from, you can be sure to find endless shops for jewellery or clothing. Our Bloomsbury Palace Hotel is ideally located for the city’s best shops, but you could also head to one of the Westfield shopping centres or Covent Garden.
Valentine’s Day is nearly here, so now is the time to start planning your romantic day or evening out in London. If you are looking to stay with us at this time of the year, we recommend booking as soon as you can to avoid missing out. So many couples head to London for Valentine’s Day, and you can be sure you’ll have a day to remember and create memories together that you’ll treasure for many years to come.
