Tired of Netflix and looking for a fun and exciting date to try in London? Despite what John Green says, there\u2019s a limit to the number of times you can lie on the grass and whisper truths about infinity to each other before it gets boring. Whether it\u2019s because you want to impress your partner or go on a fun mate-date, it\u2019s always nice to treat yourself to something special every now and then.<\/p>\n
Here are 5 different and memorable London dates to try that doesn\u2019t require you to sell your organs to pay for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This is the perfect date if you want to fool people into thinking you\u2019re one of those cultivated couples who spend all your time at Tate Modern. Sushi school sounds very fancy, but the truth is the classes are very relaxed and fun. Yo-sushi offers classes for \u00a325 per person that lasts about 2 hours. You learn how to make an array of different maki and hand rolls and you get to take your tiny eatable pieces of art home.<\/p>\n They also offer special Christmas and holiday classes with Prosecco and wine if you want to make your date extra special. You can even channel your inner Gordon Ramsay and critique each other’s results when you\u2019re done. These classes fill up fairly quickly so you might have to book at least a few weeks in advance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n With the exception of swimming, there are so many things to do on the Thames.There\u2019s boat cruises, parties, speed boats and afternoon tea on the river. If you and your partner have built up a significant amount of trust you can even take them kayaking. Nothing says romantic date quite like the murky London waters. There are a lot of offers available and you can easily find a boat trip for less than \u00a315 per person, it all depends on what you\u2019re looking for.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Thames is also the perfect location for cheese couples photos. You will be on the water, there might be a sunset and all though Leonardo DiCaprio won\u2019t be there to paint you like a French girl, you could always throw your locket in the water for good measure. Mind you, floating on a door on the Thames is not advisable for date nights. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Yes, this is a cinema, but it\u2019s a next level kind of cinema. Electric cinema is fairly small and intimate, filled with massive sofas and large, soft chairs you can sink into, This is the ideal place to spoil yourself or recreate a RomCom date. You can also order drinks, food, and snacks to your seat and use the pillows and blankets provided to roll yourself into a blanket burrito.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With venues both in Portobello and Shoreditch, the cinemas screen everything from fringe and independent movies to the newest box office hit. The tickets are a bit steep for a cinema trip as they charge about \u00a312 per ticket, but it\u2019s absolutely worth it if you want to feel like a rich old lady for an evening. If you\u2019re lucky you might end up having the room all to yourself.<\/p>\n Everyone loves free stuff and more importantly, everyone loves free snacks. If you want to get both going to a store opening or event is something worth considering. Because London is London, you\u2019re almost guaranteed that there\u2019s some sort of event coming up soon. There are launches for everything from new stores to new books, films, food or fun gadgets. In fact, there are so many that you might end up walking into one by accident.<\/p>\n Store openings usually come with free alcohol, snacks or other free goodies and if you\u2019re lucky, free entertainment. You might be able to sneak some free vouchers and you can stay as long as you like. Keep an eye on places like Covent Garden and Carnaby Street. Large businesses like Harvey Nichols and Selfridges also do a lot of events. Perfect for a free or low-cost date!<\/p>\n If you have a love for doughnuts and other baked goods, take a trip to Doughnut Academy and try one of their decorating classes. Very Instagram-able and perfect if you\u2019re fans of the Great British Bake Off and want to play Mary Berry for a day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Doughnut Academy offers two-hour classes every Wednesday and Saturday and also have an option for vegans. It\u2019s all good fun and filled with yummy treats so the chances of this date ending in divorce are slim to none.
