We asked the team for their suggestions of romantic things to do on the 14th, here’s what they came up with…
Watch a romantic film at home, we like the not so obvious choices: Roman Holiday, An Affair to Remember, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind are just a few suggestions
How about a night with the stars? A fantastic after-dark experience at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. The chance to watch the ‘Sky Tonight’ planetarium show and look through a giant telescope, with astronomers on hand to answer any questions. Or just sit back and star gaze with your loved one.
We love Melt Chocolates on Ledbury Road. From gorgeous truffles to heavenly bonbons, every chocolate is made fresh on the premises. You can’t go wrong with these.
Valentines wouldn’t be Valentines without roses, and what Wild at Heart don’t know about roses is not worth knowing! The old fashioned dusky pink ones are our favourite.
Looking for somewhere to eat… We would choose The Ledbury for something really special, the food is sublime. Paradise by Way of Kensal Green, the interiors are so wonderfully romantic. For a real treat, head out of town to the Hands and Flowers in Marlow, they not only serve fantastic food but also have great rooms.
For something very individual, how about a personalised Paper Cut from Poppy Chancellor
Lingerie from Dolci Follie will be a treat for both of you!
Snuggle up in front of the fire with a warming champagne cocktail – why not try a Northern Gold?
OK, Ikea might not be the most romantic of places to spend Valentines Day, but you will beat the queues by going on the 14th Feb and you can always slurp spagetti and meatballs a la Lady and The Tramp.
