Things for London couples to do, in London

15 replies

LajesticVantrashell · 09/08/2020 19:35

My friend was due to get married next weekend (15th) but that’s obviously on hold. Me and our other friends want to get her and her fiancé a voucher to do something on or around the date they would be getting married (between £80-£100).

They live in London but slightly further out (Mortlake). They’re both early 30’s.

Does anyone have any suggestions of cool/fun/interesting things we could buy/arrange? I could always get her fiancé on side if it’s not something we can pay for beforehand or get vouchers for.

Go Boat - you can take a picnic and go from either Kingston or Paddington

What's are their interests? My idea of a fun day in London is a trip to Lego Store and going somewhere like pizza hut.
I really wouldn't want 'afternoon tea'.

Remember if you get a voucher not to get something for a specific date. They may have their own plans or other people might be doing similar to you.

What are they into?

sitckmansladylove · 09/08/2020 20:18

This is just so kind ! I have no suggestions though Confused but would love a nice meal.

I'd prefer dinner out somewhere I like. Nothing too cutesy/packaged - and definitely not Peggy Porschen - poor man, he'd be drowning in pink and sugar!
Lunch at the Dysart at Petersham might just squeak into your budget and would be lovely.

There are nice things to do around Richmond/Hampton area, where they won’t have to travel into London. Ham House, York House and Gardens, Kew. A meal at Petersham Nursery in Richmond Park.

London Duck tour

London zoo + adopt an animal

Harry Potter world (Watford)

Eurostar trip to Paris

How about:

The Moonshine Saloon (immersive Western cocktail evening)

The Luna pop up cinema (only showing Black Panther on 15 Aug so might not suit!)

Chelsea Funhouse (code-cracking themed experience with cocktails)

Any of those Should fit your budget and something a bit memorable and different!

Beer or/and gin making day? Friends did it & said they loved it.

JoJoSM2 · 09/08/2020 22:47

That Go Boat from Kingston has been on my list.

A lot of these are insanely gimmicky. I would just give them a voucher for a meal at an excellent restaurant.
