A visit to the London Eye
If you have never been to the London Eye, you can take this as an opportunity to do so and still treat your loved one to a romantic time. During Valentine’s, couples will be offered free Hotel Chocolat. You could even get a private capsule ride for more intimacy if you wanted to.
Classics in the courtyard
If you and your loved one are movie buffs, you could visit the Mayfair’s Hush Brasserie, where a number of classic films will be screened. Blankets, cocktails, a wide variety of popcorn and even goat cheeses will be available, giving the event an extra romantic feel.
