Perfect Weather for Ducks- My Top Rainy-Day London Dates
In England, if you're waiting for a sunny day to take that
special someone out for a brisk walk down Portobello Market or to a romantic
picnic in Hyde Park you will be waiting for a
while. With online dating making it
easier than ever to meet people, it is now time to fully embrace all the
romantic possibilities a little (or a lot) of precipitation can bring. So put
on your brightest rain coat, some waterproof shoes and prepare to explore
London!
Coffee and Candlelight
Candid
Café is tucked away in a corner and up a couple flights of stairs, but this is perhaps one of the most romantic cafes you are ever likely to visit. Just a quick dash from the Angel Tube Station, this European café lights candles instead of switching on lamps when the sun goes down, and is full of antique couches and tables. With americanos in hand and the rain falling outside, you have the makings of a perfect intimate conversation!
Photography and Books
Sometimes the best things to do are right under your nose. The British Library has a Victorian photography exhibition on which will get the two of you chatting. If these beautiful black and white photos aren't enough for you, you can move on to the Sir John Riblat Gallery. Here you can "ooh" and "ahh" over Shakespeare's First Folio, original Beatle's lyrics, and the Magna Carta. The rain will just have to wait for you while you hide out in this fantastic library.
Dinner and a Movie
The classic first date choice is dinner and a movie but your date will be impressed when you show up at The Phoenix, one of the oldest cinema's in London. This cinema shows a variety of films, mainstream and independent, and it will keep your feet dry for at least a couple hours. If you are looking for a nice place to grab a bite, The Bald Faced Stag or The White Lion are both cute pubs nearby that are good places for conversation.
With a city as vibrant as London at your fingertips, you can be assured that finding the perfect place to take your sweetheart is easily within your reach. Even the rainy weather can be an excuse to come up with a creative date.
London
dating is the perfect way to get to know that special someone, be it over a cup of coffee, a nice dinner or a fantastic first edition text.
