Finding a place to go for date night can be tough when you’re strapped for cash, especially in London sometimes. But whilst there are the obvious things like going out for dinner, cocktails or a show there is a heap of stuff that can be done on a budget. Cheap and fun is something we all like to hear! Here is a list of 20 romantic date night ideas to consider in London when you are on a budget.
Are you or your significant other a fan of the theatre? Last minute or standing tickets tend to always be relatively cheap so why not take a visit to the National Theatre and catch a play or performance.
Crazy golf has always been a seaside town favourite but Junkyard golf is the next best thing. With lights, music and cocktails you can have an evening of fun on the cheap.
Camden market is a great place to wander around and have a look at all the stalls. From jewellery to trinkets, there is so much to see and the food selection is amazing! There are so many choices and for all budgets.
Food and drinks galore down at Borough Market. Browse to see what is on offer and tuck into a little snack or two.
One for the book lovers and budget fiends alike. You are allowed to peruse the books on offer and take up to 9 home with you for absolutely nothing. Wonderful!
One of the romantic date night ideas you can consider is browsing shops and watching entertainers in Covent Garden. There’s nothing like a chilled day walking around to all of the different shops (window shopping if your like me and can only dream). Stopping to listen to the entertainers that line the roads in Covent Garden is always a fun activity as well!
Providing it is good weather a stroll in Hyde Park can be just what you need. Take a picnic or maybe even feed the ducks. The park is always bustling with walkers, runners, people doing day to day activities so find somewhere to sit and watch the world go by together.
Treasures and fossils galore at the Natural History Museum. There is plenty to learn and take in so why not have a date night doing something different.

Cheap, cheerful and fun can be had just by having a beer or two in the evening sunshine.
Ping pong can be so fun and brings out a competitive side of you both. Book a table down at Bounce and let the war begin!
You can get a great view of the sunset from Primrose Hill or Hampstead Heath. Why not grab a picnic and a blanket and enjoy the view. A classic take on romantic date night ideas when in London!
