Date ideas in London

robgmun · 20 Sep 2008 at 09:36

I've been seeing this girl for a couple of weeks and this is going to be our 3rd date. I've got the evening planned out from 6pm onwards but i have no idea whats special during the day. Any ideas?

London Eye is nice, London Dungeon is pretty cool. British Museum if she's into that sort of thing. There are plenty of art galleries you could go to to make you look sophisticated and crap. Or you could just walk around. Globe Theatre is a good stop. Could go shopping?

She's already done the London Eye, and i don't want to bore her by taking her to a Museum, maybe further down the line. I was thinking about Kew gardens or Tate Modern

Ice skating? Always a good choice. There must be a rink somewhere in london?

if you're not from london, i always think a nice walk from covent garden, down past trafalgar square, down the mews watch changing of the guard in St James Park - then if its nice have a ice cream/sit in the park. Continue the walk down towards the palace then down birdcage walk to bring you out by houses of parliament, over the river and walk along the southbank. Doesnt take long, and if the weathers nice it cant be beat.

could always the hop on a tube to South Kensignton, takle a walk around the V&A museum or science or natural history...

EDIT: Meant to add it as an edit to above

Take her out to a nice restaurant for lunch. After about 20 mins of conversation slip under the table and take her to places she's never been. As you do...

Paintballing maybe, depends how much of a girly girl she is though, my missus loves doing that sort of thing.

Queensway Ice Bowl? I used to go there.

Borough Market is always a winner, sample some food and drink then on to the South Bank to watch the street performers etc.

Yea take her up the OXO tower, she'll enjoy that. Although if it is her first time you probably want to prepare her.

ice skating is a great idea - means she will have to hold on tight to you!!!!

(or you to her!!!)

Some great reviews of the OXO Tower.

When my boyfriend told me he wanted to take me up the Oxo Tower for my birthday, I was a bit hesitant at first because I didn't really think it was my scene. How wrong I was! I mean, yeah, so it's a bit of a strain on the old back pocket, and I admit I did feel a bit uncomfortable initially. But a couple of cocktails helped me relax and soon I was really getting into it - we carried on well into the night. It was a great experience and I really loved it - so much so that I won't let my boyfriend take me anywhere else now! So if anyone ever wants to take you up the Oxo Tower, just throw caution to the wind and go for it!

Take her out Sunday morning to the Columbia Road flower Market in Hackney.

pdw8 · 21 Sep 2008 at 00:56

In that side of town I would suggest The London Dungeon or the London Aquarium near the Eye.

Matblack · 21 Sep 2008 at 01:22

Definitely take her up the OXO she'll love it and from the tone of your post you'd probably like it too.
