Looking for love in London can be tough, despite the huge number of people living and working in the city itself. When you find someone you’d like to take out then another dilemma presents itself: where’s a good place to go on that all important first date?
Primrose Hill offers a scenic sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of everyday London life. Standing at almost 80 metres high it offers unique views of Central London and is a great place to go to relax on a first date and get to know someone better. Primrose Hill has been immortalised by many songwriters and novelists over the years from Paul McCartney to H.G. Wells and is sure to leave a lasting impression.
If the height that Primrose Hill has to offer just isn’t enough then a good alternative, especially if the British weather lets you down, is Tower 42. It’s the tallest skyscraper building in the City of London at an impressive 183 metres. On the 42nd floor you’ll find an exquisite Champagne and seafood bar where you can chat in style and comfort. The breathtaking views will also help to fill any on those awkward silences and even provide conversation points if you’re struggling.
If you’d prefer your first date to be a little closer to ground level then Thames Barrier Park could be right up your street. It’s an oasis of tranquillity covering 22 acres and is ideal for a picnic with lots of well-kept lawns. There is also a magnificent fountain plaza with 32 water jets, which is a lovely sight in its own right. Visiting the park on a beautiful summer’s day will definitely enhance any first date and help to create a real feel good factor.
If the lush surroundings of a park are not yours or your date’s scene then there are many livelier London venues you can enjoy. If you’re planning a meal and a club then you’re definitely spoilt for choice. Brick Lane plays host to some of the very best curry houses, not just in London but the whole of the UK. It also features some great nightclubs so if your dinner has been a success you can take in some top tunes and dance the night away without having to venture far from the restaurant.
These are just a few of the many wonderful places to go on a first date in London. The list is almost endless; from theatres, galleries, museums, cosy pubs, street markets, cruises on the Thames and much more, there’s no doubt that dating in London is full of diversity in terms of the amazing settings and people that call it home.
