Royal Observatory Greenwich
Stand on the Prime Meridian Line with one foot in each hemisphere. The planetarium shows are brilliant and the hilltop views over Canary Wharf are stunning.
Greenwich Park
2 min walk downhill from the Observatory. Stroll through London's oldest royal park — deer, ancient trees, and gorgeous flower gardens. Head towards the river.
Cutty Sark
10 min walk through the park. Step aboard the world's last surviving tea clipper. Walk under the gleaming copper hull — it's more impressive than you'd expect.
The Old Brewery
3 min walk from Cutty Sark. Craft beer and seasonal British food in the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College. The courtyard is lovely in summer.
Comments
Greenwich Park is properly underrated for dates, peaceful and beautiful. The Cutty Sark was surprisingly fascinating.
Take the Thames Clipper to get there — basically a river cruise for the price of a bus ticket and way more romantic than the tube
This is the best tip, the boat ride makes the whole date feel special.
History-loving couples and outdoor adventurers
Saturday or Sunday afternoon
