subject: Uk City Breaks For Couples [print this page] London is a great destination for a romantic mini break, and there are lots of ways to spoil yourself and your partner whilst you are away. The activities you choose to indulge in will depend on your personal tastes; some couples may love to spend an afternoon wandering around the Tate Modern, whilst others would rather wander round Harrods! Whichever you prefer, there are lots of great ways to enjoy yourself in London.
There are lots of cheap London hotels in different areas of the city for you to choose from, and they can make a great base for exploring the city. The key to a successful romantic weekend away is to minimise stress and enjoy yourselves. There are lots of cheap London hotels which are close to a tube station, and these are a great choice to help you get around the city quickly and easily. A classic romantic evening may include an early dinner at a great restaurant, a show or musical at one of the city's many theatres, and an after show drink in a romantic local bar. This can be easy to arrange via your hotel, and there are lots of cheap London hotels which will be able to make reservations and book tickets on your behalf. You may need to enquire before you arrive, particularly for theatre tickets, but hotel staff should be knowledgeable and happy to help.
The London Eye is a great idea for a romantic activity, and it is possible to buy tickets for a champagne flight on the famous wheel. This can be taken during the day, or at night when the city is lit up; sunset may be the perfect time for the ultimate romantic trip, and you will be served a glass of champagne as you enjoy the view together. If you would like to do this, there are lots of cheap London hotels which are close to the London Eye; or you could choose a hotel which has a nearby tube station to get you there quickly. Cheap London hotels near the city centre are often a good choice, as many places will be within walking distance or just a short underground ride away.
If you want to really relax and indulge yourselves, then there are lots of London spas which can offer a range of treatments for couples such as massages and facials. Many will require booking in advance, and your hotel may be able to advise you of any particularly good spas nearby. A relaxed day spent walking around some of the city's picturesque parks can also be a great way to spend a romantic day together, and you could pack a picnic and enjoy the summer sunshine.
A luxurious hotel is essential for any romantic trip, and you should look for well decorated rooms with comfortable bedding and plump pillows, sparkling bathrooms and room service for breakfast in bed or midnight snacks. You may even be able to order flowers or champagne to be placed in your room for your arrival, to get your weekend off to a romantic start!
