Top 5 London Date Night Ideas

Top 5 Autumn London Date Night Ideas

Autumn is the perfect time to get out there dating, let’s face it, it’s that period of time between summer soirees and the inevitable winter hibernation. It’s the perfect window of opportunity to get out, meeting new people and love life potentials for a spot of romancing.

London is a great city full of hustle and bustle, but sometimes we can be stuck with so many options for date places, we wouldn’t know where to start to find a nice cosy spot to snuggle up and spark some great conversation with that special someone.

Take a look at these top 5 suggestions in order to make that all important date count…

Pergola On The Roof London
Pergola On The Roof – Television Centre, Wood Lane, W12 7RJ
Despite seating for 600 people this romantic spot will make you feel like the only two people on this rooftop. With two bars and self-service food from fab restaurants across the capital, this venue has the feel of cool along with casual. Free to attend but obviously food and drink not included, you can book if there are groups of four or more; so great for a double date too if you want to bring some friends along.

Gordons Wine Bar London
Gordons Wine Bar – Embankment, 47 Villiers St, London WC2N 6NE
Established in 1890 you must, must, must visit London’s oldest wine bar! Most certainly a romantic and ambient spot in London. Gordon’s looks after its customers very well, not only in terms of service and setting but its ever so extensive wine list. If your date is a lover of wine or great ambiance then this certainly is the place to go. Passed down through generations of the Gordon family, this wine bar isn’t going anywhere. Perfect for a first date…

Heron Tower Duck & Waffle
Heron Tower Restaurants – Heron Tower, 110 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 4AY
Taking your date to great heights, to whisk them off their feet. Ensure you both dress to impress! Drop in for a cocktail in the bar at Duck & Waffle or perhaps a spot of wining and dining in Sushi Samba if you’re looking to whisk your date off their feet! Heron Tower never ceases to amaze, with its great food, great atmosphere and indulgent date night views. Enjoy!

St Katherine Dock London
St Katherine Dock – St Katharine Marina, 50 St Katharine’s Way, London E1W 1LA
Tucked away just yards away from The Tower of London and the gorgeous Tower Bridge, St Katherine Dock is a beautiful little hideaway where you can grab a drink or two or a spot of dinner. Home to Gloriana, The Queen’s Rowbarge, you will find that this corner of London is quaint, quiet and perfect for meeting up with that certain someone.

The ShardCopyright © The Dating Agency Group

The Shard – 32 London Bridge St, London SE1 9SG
If you head up The Shard in the London Bridge Quarter you must take your date to the viewing gallery, on a clear day you can see all the way out to Greater London for up to around 40 miles! Apparently The Shard offers London’s best view (and I don’t doubt it) situated on floors 68, 69 and 72. You will find an array of fine restaurants with bars, I have often found live acoustic music, which is the perfect setting for an unparalleled date with that potential.

Wherever you decide to go for your autumnal date night, London is a beautiful city with lots to see and an awful lot to do whatever your budget and interests. Get out there and make the most of meeting up with your match before it gets a little too cold. Happy Date Night!

Cool Places For A Dinner Date In New York

Cool Places For A Dinner Date In New York

New York Manhattan

So you’re in Manhattan and looking for a great date place for dinner. I can promise you this, the more you look online the more you will drown in food options as you will not be going hungry in the Big Apple on date night. Whether you are just visiting or live in this wonderful city and want a splash of inspiration for your special someone then don’t worry I’ve got it covered. I have tried many a place to get to this conclusion I can assure you. At least my gym membership is getting it’s use to bring you these top date night destinations.

Aria Wine Bar – 117 Perry Street
This cosy west village hot spot is tucked away from the area’s famous jazz scene and is just perfect for a romantic evening for two. An extensive menu of cicchetto served to you on the rustic wood tables is dimly light in atmospheric candlelight. This place is a hidden gem with perfectly priced shareable dishes.

Wine Bar

I would say this location has absolutely no messing around great food and sports an affordable international wine menu which when ordered, is poured into low maintenance tumblers for that trendy edge of coolness. Exposed brickwork and overwhelmingly busy ambiance you will feel like the coolest kids in town this date night.

Top Tip would be to walk right on through and get a seat at the bar or go early to ensure you miss a 2 hour wait. The wait is not due to this place being the newest place in Manhattan, it’s because it’s simply delicious.

Takashi NYC – 456 Hudson Street
This place is ideal for interacting, trying new dishes and in all honesty things could get a little hotter than normal (you cook on your own personal table BBQ). A Korean grill with beef based delights you will be in for trying a not so average meaty menu all to be cooked perfectly to your liking; by you.

One thing is for sure- if it’s a first date then sparks may fly if the chemistry right as learning/cooking is a great way to take the date pressure off and get comfortable with each other. Another spot serving to die for wine in low key tumblers, the service is incredible in this intimate dinner date venue.

Downtown Manhattan

Pier 1 – Downtown Manhattan
This spot is not necessarily for the food but most certainly is for the view. Order a glass of rosé and an array of oysters from NYC and the surrounding areas. Grab a great seat by the window and enjoy views of the Hudson and Lady Liberty; you’re in NYC after-all.

When you’ve had your fill on a typical NYC menu you can head upstairs to the newly refurbished bar and soak in the wonderful views from what seems like an intimate space in a large dimly lit venue in downtown Manhattan. If you have a glass or 3 then you may be inclined to stay and dance the night away here too. Wine not in tumblers.

May your bellies be full and your hearts be fluttering as the chemistry flows because these dinner date destinations are truly awesome and have a slight sprinkle of romance…
