Curious London, the “no-bullshit guide to eating, drinking and doing” in London, has published a roundup of winter date recommendations from a handful of London bloggers, including yours truly. It’s a fun read full of great ideas for couples looking for fun in the months to come. So I thought I’d share an excerpt from my contribution and link to the entire post.
If we’re talking autumn, it’s a great time for a long walk in a leafy park. My girlfriend and I took a leisurely stroll through Hyde Park a few days ago and it’s so beautiful this time of year. Simple things like watching squirrels burying nuts, encountering the feral parakeets near the north end of the Serpentine, and just hearing crunch of fallen leaves under our feet were all delightful ways to decompress and enjoy our time together.
As for a date in the wintertime, London is home to some the best bars in the world. Grab a drink, claim a cosy nook and have an actual conversation. A few of my favourite watering holes at the moment are The Beachcomber Bar in Notting Hill, The Pink Chihuahua at El Camion and Bar Termini, both in Soho, and the Shepherd Market Wine House in Mayfair.
