London is an amazing destination for romance this time of year. So, if you’re planning a city break with your loved one why not check-in to one of the many romantic hotels in London and take inspiration from our top 5 most romantic things to do in London... and ensure your stay is one you’ll never forget.
With some of London’s most popular attractions located along the riverbank,
taking a boat trip along the Thames can be one of the most rewarding ways to
see the city’s favourite sights. From relaxing city cruises to high-speed
thrill rides, there is something for everyone. Enjoy the breeze on your face,
as you take a hop-on, hop-off boar from Westminster, Waterloo, Tower Bridge or
Greenwich Pier, and experience some of London’s finest sights from a great
vantage point on the water.
Though not the first place that springs to mind when planning a romantic day out, Highgate Cemetery is a place of tranquillity and contemplation, within easy reach of the picturesque hills of Hampstead Heath. Highgate Cemetery boasts some of the finest funerary architecture in England, and is set amongst steep winding paths and overgrown wooded hills. Visiting Karl Marx’s grave in East Cemetery, or taking a tour with a fascinating guide in the West, Highgate Cemetery is the ultimate place to spend an afternoon, escaping the hustle and bustle of city life.
With its abundance of antique dealers, vintage fashion stalls, pastel-fronted
terraced housing and quirky cafes, pubs and restaurants, Portobello Road Market
is situated in a beautiful leafy setting in West London. Getting lost in
Portobello Road Market is the perfect way to pass a romantic afternoon with
your partner, browsing stalls, indulging in one of the many food and drink
stalls, visiting the set for the film ‘Notting Hill’, and seeing the home of
Europe’s biggest annual carnival: Notting Hill Carnival.
Whilst tourists flock to the West End to see world-class musicals, dance and plays, London has a great range of less well-known music venues ‘off-the-beaten-track’. In the heart of London, St Martin-in-the-Fields hosts some of London’s best live classical music events including evening concerts, free lunchtime recitals, and late-night music performances. With its beautiful church interior, stunning acoustics and candlelit performances, St Martin-in-the-Fields is the perfect setting to have a romantic evening with your loved one, listening to Mozart and Vivaldi.
In the heart of Knightsbridge, on a quiet street overlooking private gardens, Egerton House is an enchanting boutique townhouse hotel perfect for intimate celebrations and luxury romantic getaways.
Moments from Harrods and the V&A Museum, this quaint hotel is the perfect place to relax in the company of someone special. Luxury and comfort surrounds you, while just outside, culture awaits you. And the Egerton is well versed in meeting the needs of the romantic, offering a dedicated ‘An Occasion to Remember’ package for couples. This includes, amongst other things, two nights in a luxuriously designed room, a bottle of Lanson Champagne, a gift box of luxury Belgian chocolates, as well as a complimentary glass of The Egerton’s famous martini, to welcome you and your beloved upon arrival.
