Are you planning to surprise your significant other with a fancy romantic getaway? Or are you trying to spice up your marriage and impress the love of your life? Why not treat yours like royalty in the capital city of England—London? Although it’s not as revered as romantic as Paris, it still definitely has its charisma. The city has plenty of romantic spots to discover—from the world’s finest restaurant to exclusive boutiques.

Planning the perfect romantic trip can be quite stressful. Not sure where or how to start? Here are some ways to enjoy your sweet time in London:

1. Museum Date 

Nothing shouts luxurious more than visiting museums in London. Take your partner to indulge in the richness of history and the stunning art and architecture inside. You can plan ahead by choosing a specific section of the museum and study what’s displayed there. Impress your partner by spitting interesting facts regarding a certain art piece and the background story of its artist. If you’re on a first date, this will be a great ice breaker! 

Luckily for you, there are so many museums in London that you can choose from—and most of them are free. Luxury doesn’t always equate to spending a lot of money, it’s about the experience you leave for your date. To start, you can bring your partner to the British Museum which has a free pass for the main galleries. Want a quirkier one? Try the Freud Museum. Yes, a museum dedicated to the Austrian psychoanalyst is the way to go, if you want to be upfront on the first date or just to break the societal norms regarding museum dates.   

2, Romantic Candlelit Dinner

What’s more romantic than a candlelit dinner with your sweetheart, sipping wine while enjoying the ambiance of the place? Not to mention the exquisite dishes you’re about to enjoy while you’re relishing the special moment with your partner—talk about heaven on earth.
