Dinner is the easy part of a date; the idea is what people remember. The best London evenings for two are rarely the obvious ones, but the small, well-chosen things: a hidden bar, a rooftop at golden hour, a walk that ends somewhere you would not have found alone.
For inspiration beyond the table, our guide to date ideas in London is full of them, and our things to do for couples goes further still. When you do want a table, the most romantic restaurants in London rarely miss, and a nightcap at one of the best cocktail bars in London is a fine way to end.
Pair one planned thing with one loose one, keep the phones away once it starts, and leave room for the night to wander. The best dates rarely end where they began.
