Valentine's Day Ideas

Responsible for some of the world’s most famous couples: Romeo and Juliet, Posh and Becks, Kate and Will… Britain DOES romance!

Here are some romantic ideas to inspire you and yours this Valentine’s Day.

London Eye Red Rose Valentine Flight

Elizabeth Browning once said, ‘Love doesn’t make the world go round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile.’

This is certainly the case if you are thinking of taking a trip on the London Eye this Valentine’s Day. As well as breath-taking views of London, special scheduled flights come complete with a rose and box of chocolates per couple.

London Dungeon

London’s scariest day-out, they’ll be leaping into your arms at every opportunity…

And as a special ‘treat’ this Valentine’s Day, prepare to pucker up.

Selling kisses to anyone brave enough is pretty Polly the plague victim, mistress of the “Kiss of Death” kissing booth. All money parted with to kiss her boil-ridden lips will be donated to charity.

Leeds Castle

Described as ‘the loveliest castle in the world’ by Lord Conway, this moated and astonishingly picturesque castle is the ultimate destination for a romantic roam.

You can visit the beautiful Leeds Castle on the following day tour from London:

Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and the White Cliffs of Dover (£44 Evans Evans)

Afternoon Tea

Elegant, decadent and quintessentially English, treat your Valentine to a scrumptious afternoon tea at one of two top London locations: Fortnum & Mason or Grosvenor House.

Edinburgh Zoo (available on the Edinburgh Pass)

Use your Edinburgh Pass to see Scotland’s latest couple, Tian Tian and Yang Guang the Giant Pandas! This loveable pair arrived at Edinburgh Zoo in December 2011 to crowds of well-wishers and they make a delightful day out.

Beatles Story

If you’re in Liverpool this Valentine’s Day find out if ‘all you need is love’ at the Beatles Story; an interactive visitor attraction charting the life, times and music of the fab four.
