Couples weekend in London

[atomicnotsoblonde]

Help! We've a weekend away in London in early May. Going to theatre on Friday.

Saturday thought we'd do the tower late am.
Need food/activity ideas for Saturday afternoon, lunch and evening!

Sunday going to the science museum in am and need ideas for a Sunday lunch before heading home.

Any suggestions. Just in our own with no kids (!!) hotel in west end area. Hoping to do something a bit different, rather than things we can do in our local city. Budget reasonable but not huge!

Suggestions welcome!

Investigate lunch or dinner on a boat on the Thames.
Take a boat down river to Greenwich. Lots of eateries there, interesting shops, a nice park, Maritime Museum and the Observatory.
Brasserie Zedel is a French Brasserie at Piccadilly Circus and has Crazy Coqs - a separate cabaret venue. We take all our visitors there.
Look at what’s on at Ronnie Scott’s - you can have dinner while you enjoy the music.
Book for ABBA Voyage?
Several nice restaurants in a side street opposite the Science Museum but I like eating in the restaurant in the V n A - wonderful Art Nouveau decoration. There is a restaurant in the Albert Hall that you can book as well.
The Wallace Collection behind Selfridges is a lesser known Eclectic museum also with a good restaurant.

I love the Royal Albert Hall, so would do a tour and would see if there was an event of interest on the day. Afternoon tea or another meal there too.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will look into these.. any other ideas welcome!

Any food in particular that you like/dislike? Do you enjoy wine? Cocktails?

What time do you have to get your train back (and from where)? To inform lunch options. I'm thinking somewhere around Little Venice perhaps
Places you might like to try
Bedales, Wright Brothers, Roast, in Borough Market
Randall & Aubin, Mele e Pere, Noble Rot, Bob Bob Ricard, The French House, Bocca di Lupo, all in Soho.
Hawksmoor, Blacklock (various locations) for steak

A stroll around camden is my favourite activity

Love wine and cocktails! But also like something to do/place to look other than just drinking. Plenty of pit stops though!

Thinking about borough markets area? Or any where there are funky street food pop ups to have a wonder around?

Eat anything. Sushi is a fave but as is a proper Sunday lunch!

Leaving from Marylebone.

Haven’t been myself but this wine bar was recommended to me and DH.

Battersea Power Station - whilst out of the way, is worth a visit, particularly the chimney. The sky gardens are nice but better to book to guarantee a table

You won't have time to do the Tower late morning and be out in time for lunch, and take into account queue times as well. I would plan somewhere for a decent brunch (look at some of the Ivy Brasseries) and do the Tower in the afternoon on Saturday.

Do a show Saturday night, preceded by a cocktail somewhere fancy, perhaps the American bar at the Savoy.

Again on Sunday, you'll want more than a couple of hours at the Science Museum.
