Complete with interactive tweets and photo installations, the experience will run until Sunday 16th February.
To make the most of the festival of love, couples celebrating Valentine’s Day with date night in town can head to The Petersham, where bouquets and bottles of prosecco will be delivered to the table upon arrival, or Sushisamba and VyTa, which are each offering a specially curated Valentine’s Day menu. If you really want to impress your date, pick up a gift en route from Tiffany & Co or Jo Malone, where jewelry and fragrances can be personalized with engraving and hand embossing. Or, if you’re planning on really splashing out, book into Penhaligons on 15th February for a luxury fragrance profiling experience, where you’ll each receive a glass of English sparkling wine, along with a bouquet from renowned florists Moyses & Stevens. The scent of love is truly hanging in the air!
