Ideas for a perfect romantic date: London for couples

Despite the dull weather outside we are already feeling the summer mood and our hearts have the urge for love and sweet bird songs. Would you like to impress your date with unusual and astonishing experience? Then London is the right place for you to be, read on for a pick of some romantic ideas from Short Let London.

One of the most romantic place of London: Little Venice

If you think that the only place to go on a canal boat trip is Venice in Italy, think again – there is this hidden and not spoiled place in London called Little Venice, located in a beautiful area of Maida Vale through where Regents Canal is stretching towards Camden (Short Let London holds London apartments near Maida Vale: short let apartments in Kilburn Park).

Take your date on a boat along the canal passing under beautiful bridges and palms, and make sure you have some biscuits in your pocket to feed the swans and ducks. The boat will take you to Regents Park, where you can even pop in to London Zoo and see how the animals are greeting the spring. Since we are talking about outdoor activities and meeting the animals, then we should mention Richmond Park – wander around the vast territory of this nature reserve on the outskirts of London, here you can see the reindeers in more or less wild environment and unlike London Zoo you do not need to pay for the entry, here you will feel the tranquillity of a rural scene.

If you are both creative people or just like to spend quality cultural time, then unleash your inner master and visit one or even few of various art venues in London. There are some smashing exhibitions on at the moment, like "The Human Factor" at Hayward Gallery (South Bank Centre), which International artists confront the question of how we represent the 'human' today.  The Human Factor surveys how artists over the past 25 years have reinvented figurative sculpture, looking back to earlier movements in art history and drawing on contemporary imagery.

The Tate Modern, a Matisse exhibition in London, romatic and cultural break

Another great show is "Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs" at Tate Modern, a celebration of the period in which Matisse began ‘cutting into colour’. The exhibition is proving very popular, book before to go to this exhibition to avoid the queues. For a quieter viewing experience, why not book for an exclusive Matisse Sunday Late.  From snowflowers to dancers, circus scenes and a famous snail, the exhibition showcases a dazzling array of 120 works made between 1936 and 1954. Bold, exuberant and often large in scale, the cut-outs have an engaging simplicity coupled with incredible creative sophistication. 

There are a lot of free events and galleries in London too, visit Natural History Museum, British Museum, Museum of Childhood, Science Museum or other public galleries, at some days during the month they are open until late, surprise your other half and create an unusual romantic atmosphere in the old grand buildings.
