Whether looking to impress a first date, or take your long-term partner somewhere new, here are our top fun date ideas in London…
Whether you are heading on a first date with someone that you really want to impress, or you want to take your long-term partner somewhere a bit different from the usual haunts, London is full of fun, romantic and unusual places to take someone on a date. Here are some fun date ideas in London that you might want to consider:
Perfect for the first date
When you are choosing somewhere for a first date, there are a few factors that will influence your choice. For example, you want to find somewhere that you feel safe and not awkward if you are meeting someone for the first time and also somewhere that you can actually have a conversation and get to know your date better. A trip to the cinema to sit in silence watching a film will not give you much opportunity for chatting unless you meet up beforehand or go for food or drinks afterwards.
The first date is where the first impressions are made, and a lot of first dates never progress to the second for a variety of reasons. By choosing the right venue for your date, you will build a better idea of whether a second date is worthwhile. If you have been trying online dating then it is a good idea to have a large selection of date ideas, as you may find you are going on many dates and you don’t want to keep heading to the same place! Whether you are speed dating, dating in London with Badoo where you can meet lots of new people, using Tinder, or you’ve plucked up the courage to ask someone you know on a date, here are some fun date ideas in London that you can try…
Camden Market
A place that is busy but offers plenty of areas to go and have a chat, Camden Market is perfect for a first date when you don’t know how long you are likely to be out for.
