London Dating Ideas
In order to make sure the first date leads to a second, it needs to be something fun and memorable which also offers the best chance to get to know each other.
Luckily, London offers more dating opportunities that anywhere else in the world. There are so many fantastic places to go and activities to take part in that you never need to be short of ideas.
Here are five great date ideas that you might like to try:
1) Cookery Class. Find out in advance what food they like – dating profiles often say this if you do a little research. The rather than taking them out for a meal, book a couple of places at one of London’s many cookery schools. There are places that offer cupcake classes, sushi making. chocolate workshops or even pizza lessons. You’ll bond quickly and learn a new skill at the same time. After you’ve made something delicious together you can then enjoy it afterwards with a glass or wine or two.
2) London Zoo. This is a wonderful for date for many reasons. It will evoke happy childhood memories and you’ll never be at a loss for something to talk about. Take a picnic and watch your favourite animals at play.
3) Movies with a Twist. Everyone loves a good film, but it doesn’t have to be in the company of spotty teenagers flicking popcorn at each other. Mordern cinemas offer comfy leather armchairs with footstools, drinks and fine food served while you watch. Try the Electric Cinema on the Portobello Road and make sure you book a two seater sofa!
4) Afternoon Tea. If you want to impress, why not take afternoon tea at one of London’s finest hotels? Nothing says stylish more than drinking champagne or fine tea. For extra kudos take them to the Ritz!
5) Bowling. This is a traditional dating idea that has recently had somewhat of a makeover. There are now several ultra cool bowling alleys in London that offer cocktails while you bowl. Bowling alleys like the All Star Lanes in Bloomsbury even have private rooms you can book if you want to keep things just to yourselves.
Happy Dating!

If the weather is good enough A river tour is a fantatsic idea for a first date, really shows your making an effort, and what are the chances of someone turning down the chance for a romantic trip down scenic parts of the thames?

I took my boyfriend to the Tower of London, it took us all day to get round there and it was a great way to spend time together, we got a lot of excercise going up and down all the stairs too!

Great article! I’ve done 2,3,4 and 5 but number 1 sounds like a really fun idea

Afternoon tea sounds kind of expensive at Ritz, better the other 4 ideas. In the end, it all depends on both’ tastes…

London zoo and afternoon tea are brilliant dates but tricky to pull off.
