Best things to do on Valentine's Day in London 2024
If you are coming to London for Valentine’s Day, check out our 5 loved-up, unusual, and romantic ideas and activities in London on February 14. The big day is coming and is time to plan everything! I am sharing different kinds of ideas that would suit most of you. Also if you have any questions about London and you need my plan to help you plan everything, please contact me at contact@scalensstudio.com
Let’s start Valentine’s Day in the morning. Step by step I will create a plan for you and options for what you could do.
How to Spend Your Morning on Valentine's Day
After morning breakfast in your Hotel, let’s go to the City. I have prepared two alternatives for how you can spend the day. If this is your first time in London, you might not wait to see all the City! All the best spots and here you have 3 alternatives:
London Hop-On Hop-Off Bus - is a practical way to see the main sights in the City. You can get on and off the bus at any of its stops to explore the city at your own pace. The bus ticket is valid from 24 hours to up to 48 hours. So I would suggest jumping to the London Hop-On Hop-Off bus and exploring all the best places in London. You can book the bus here. You can take so many great photos of each other in the most popular spots, but if you try to take selfies and you are not happy with the result, then I would suggest option 2, which is:
Romantic couple photoshoot in London with visiting the best spots in London - after breakfast, when there are not many people around meeting your local photographer might sound like the best idea. If you are not a super fan of the London Hop-On Hop-Off bus, if you don’t like many people, meet our London photographer who will show you all the best spots, capture moments of the two of you, and have so much fun. We still have a free slot on the 14 of February so I would hurry up, with booking you can do it here
Old City of London Free Tour - the same day on the morning after the photo shoot, you can sign up for a free tour around London and check out another part of the City visiting the oldest streets and monuments. The tour will take from 2 hours to 2.5 hours. The meeting point is the Queen Anna statue in front of St Paul’s Cathedral and the tour is free if you book via this website here
Valentine's Afternoon Tea
After your morning hours, let’s plan some afternoon tea! In London, there are so many options, but I have something special for you to make the time even more romantic. What do you think about Afternoon Tea Cruise on the River Thames? During the morning hours you are going to see the best places from land and now let’s discover the best views of London on a River Thames sightseeing cruise and enjoy a traditional afternoon tea while you admire the iconic skyline. Perfect time if you get a bit hungry and want to relax a bit after walking around the City.
River Thames Lunch Cruise
If you are not a fan of afternoon tea, let me give you an alternative of where to eat during your Valentine’s Day in London. Let’s stay with a unique experience which is River Thames Lunch Cruise. Eating your lunch with your loved one plus visiting all the panoramic views of London while having a delicious 2-course lunch without spending too much because the course costs only £49 per person. You can book the River Thames lunch cruise here
After lunch, let’s relax a bit
After lunch, I would suggest ordering a taxi and traveling to the Hotel. I would suggest using the new app Bolt, and I am giving you £10 OFF for your first trip on the Bolt app. To accept it, use the code DOMIZEA to sign up or click on the link https://invite.bolt.eu/DOMIZEA
Valentine’s Day during the evening time in London
Hungry? There are a few options and ideas on what you can do. First of course after all day you can spend the evening in your Hotel and eat dinner there and have some spa time for the two of you in your Hotel or around the area where you are staying. From my experience, many people choose as well some shows, for example, ABBA, which can start at 5:45 pm in 258 Vauxhall Bridge Road and will last 5 hours. So this might be a long Valentine’s Day for you. Anything you will choose I would like to wish to a day full of love and quality time.
