Have a date in the library
It’s not only a library but also one of the most amazing yet underappreciated museums in London. The place has a unique calm to it and it seems that the very air inside makes you relax.
Touring the library and admiring ancient tomes, elegant architecture and design, and the immensity of knowledge hidden in the millions of books within makes for a great date. There are cafes inside where you can enjoy a cup of coffee while relaxing and discussing the things you’ve just seen.
Go on a pub crawl
If you are looking for more rowdy fun than an evening in the quiet library, you definitely should discover the joys of the London pub crawl . For a couple who wants to let go and have fun, this will be the perfect opportunity to do so and be sure that you get top quality experience in the city you don’t know yet.
Pub crawling is a time-honored British tradition. Drifting from one interesting place to the next while enjoying a drink gives you a chance to glimpse the extremely diverse London bar scene.
Take a quiz
If you are interested in something less drink and more fun, you will appreciate the wonder that is the Last Man Standing . Known as London’s most fun and fast-paced quiz, this experience is sure to make you laugh all night long.
Games and challenges might seem crazy at times, but what fun things aren’t? This kind of date can’t fail to make you overflow with positive emotions. You can also make new friends when bonding over the silly challenges with other players.
Listen to classical music by candlelight
These are small concerts where one can enjoy classical music. They take place at a variety of venues but the most amazing ones are reserved for old churches.
These concerts are harder to catch than other types of popular date night entertainment, but the magical experience is definitely worth the extra work.
Catch a movie in a ballroom
Going to the movies is a classic date night plan. But like everything in London, here you can give this plan an extra flair by enjoying a movie in a luxurious ballroom setting.

Get spooked
What better way to spend a date night than getting scared out of your wits and clinging to each other while adrenalin fires up your blood? If this sounds like something you want to try, London is the perfect city for this. Never forget that this is the city that Jack the Ripper comes from and pretty much every old building here has its own ghost stories.
There are many ways to organize a spooky date in London. You can go on a tour of the many haunted mansions or trace the steps of Jack the Ripper. But you can also enjoy one of the many immersive experiences offered in the city. Options to consider are Handmade Mysteries and The Psychic Project . Each has a unique flair to it but high level of spookiness is guaranteed in any case.
