Portobello Road Market
Wander the colourful streets of Portobello Road. Antiques, vintage fashion, and those iconic pastel houses make for perfect photo ops.
The Churchill Arms
12 min walk from Portobello Road. One of London's most photographed pubs, draped in flowers. The Thai food upstairs is a hidden gem. Grab a pint in the characterful bar.
Farmacy
8 min walk from Churchill Arms. Stylish plant-based restaurant in a beautiful Victorian building. The mushroom truffle pizza and the cocktails are outstanding.
Electric Cinema
10 min walk back to Portobello Road. London's oldest working cinema with luxury leather armchairs, footstools, and cashmere blankets. Book the double beds in the front row for peak romance.
Comments
Electric Cinema double beds were worth every penny, we watched a classic film with wine and it was incredibly cosy
Churchill Arms gets packed after 6pm on weekends — go earlier or try the Thai food upstairs where there's more space
The Thai food is surprisingly good for a pub, proper hidden gem.
Anniversary dates and hopeless romantics
Saturday afternoon into evening
