Whisper sweet nothings in St. Paul’s Cathedral

It’s the second largest cathedral in the world, so St. Paul’s is well worth a visit while you’re enjoying a weekend break with your partner. Discover this iconic building’s colourful history as you enjoy a guided tour.
Head down to the crypt, where you will discover the tombs and memorials of some of the nation’s most renowned heroes including the Duke of Wellington. Afterwards, head to the Whispering Gallery which is known for its quirky construction. A whisper against its walls is audible on the opposite side. It’s Valentine’s Day, so be sure to let the one you love know how you really feel before enjoying a romantic evening in at the Montcalm Hotel Marble Arch.
Get lost in conversation at the quirky Little Nan’s Bar
Arch 14; 4 Market Yard; London; SE8 4NS
Sometimes great conversation and a few drinks is all that you need to enjoy an evening with your partner, so why not try out this slightly more unconventional bar for drinks with a twist? The decor is probably what you’d expect to find if you took a time machine back to the 80s and visited your Nan’s house. When it comes to the drinks, sweet cocktails are what it’s all about here, many of which are served in old-fashioned teapots.
