Your 24-Hour Itinerary for a Truly Indulgent Valentine’s Day in London – whether you’re loved up or fabulously single

There are few places it’s better to be on Valentine’s Day than London, with lots of things to do throughout the day, regardless of your relationship status. This quick guide should help you make the most of those 24 hours, no matter whether you’re happily loved-up or loving the single life…

Treat Yourself to a Delicious Brunch

You need plenty of energy to get through a day of sightseeing in the city, but grabbing brunch is a better option for Valentine’s Day than rigidly sticking to breakfast and lunch timetables. The leisurely pace is great for setting the tone of the entire day, and London has lots of wonderful venues to choose from.

Indulge in Some Retail Therapy

Shopping is one activity which can be enjoyed no matter your relationship status, so head to one of London’s major shopping districts. London is filled with places which are perfect for adding some new designer finds or high-street bargains to your collection, so while you are staying at accommodation in London, be sure to make the most of it. We recommend Bond Street for designer labels and Oxford Street for the very best of the high street.

Enjoy an Afternoon Tea

Valentine’s Day is a time for traditions. As an experience, the afternoon tea at the Montcalm provides a new spin on this classic whilst giving you the chance to unwind in stunning surroundings. This is a great option if you’ve somehow managed to skip lunch amidst all the shopping! No matter whether you’re travelling solo or visiting with a loved one – afternoon tea is a chance to treat yourself and take a break from the hectic pace of the city.

Go Star-Gazing at the Royal Observatory

Everyone loves a bit of stargazing, and if the weather won’t allow it during your visit to London, then a trip to Valentine’s night event at the Royal Observatory is a fabulous way to replicate the experience. With shows ongoing between 5:30 pm and 8:30 pm, you can join a romantic planetarium event which looks at the Moon through the venue’s own Victorian-era telescope and gives you the opportunity to meet some of the astronomers who work at the Royal Observatory. An ideal luxury experience while staying at our 5 star luxury hotels in London, this is a great way to impress your partner with a unique gift.

Unwind at the Jazz Café

Offering a great way to relax on Valentine’s Day evening, the Jazz Café plays smooth classics from the jazz world all throughout the year, and on the 14^th February 2019, the venue will be dedicated to Nina Simone. One of the most memorable performers of the 20^th century, head there to hear a live band recreate some of her work and grab a late-night bite to eat.
