1. Enjoy year-round entertainment with a game of indoor mini-golf

Do you ever wonder why so many dates in TV shows and movies are at a mini-golf course?

If you want to keep that option open even through the winter then check out London’s signature indoor mini-golf course at Puttshack. Don’t worry, they have tables at every hole so you can set your drinks down while you enjoy this hole-in-one of a date.

Clapton Tram Shed was once a Victorian-era stable and part of a London tram depot. Nowadays, it’s a gathering space filled with plants, antiques, and a historic ambiance. This makes them a prime spot for some of the coolest date night ideas London can serve up.

With the help of Peerspace, the internet’s prime location for event space rentals by the hour, you can access some of your own, including this plant-filled Victorian stable in an old tram depot. The sleek design of the interior is accented by a peaked roof, skylights, and a disco ball that set the mood for a perfect spot to impress your date.

3. Romantic dinner on the canal

If you want to give your date a break from all the taxis and tube rides, bring them on a date aboard the Grand Duchess. The London Shell Co. offers its guests some of the city’s freshest seafood while it cruises up and down the Regent’s Canal.

4. Bathe in the glow of a neon museum

One of the coolest museums that you can find in London, God’s Own Junkyard is the place to go for all things neon. The brightly lit museum showcases the work of the “Neon Man” Chris Bracey, whose creations have been featured in Vogue and major Hollywood movies. They’re open late on weekends, so it makes for a great stop before or after dinner.

5. Live the life of a gangster with Peaky Blinders

Fans of the show “Peaky Blinders” (or any couple looking for a unique night out) should check out “Peaky Blinders: The Rise” in London’s Camden Market. The immersive experience puts you in the action as you weave through a London Crime boss’ warehouse and help or hinder their latest expansion plan. The show runs until 2023, so make sure you get a chance to check this one out before it’s gone for good.

6. Get in touch with your creative side at an art class

Need a breather after the high-energy “Peaky Blinders” date? Swing down to the MasterPeace Studio and find your zen with a quaint art class. They sculpt their classes with mindfulness at the forefront, so you’ll be sure to find it a relaxing and fulfilling experience.
