6 Wonderful Outdoor Date Ideas in London

1. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - The Dare Skywalk 

Get ready for thrills and views at The Dare Skywalk. This double header atop Tottenham Hotspur Stadium rivals the O2’s skywalk as a brilliant place to strap in, climb up (100 steps to be precise), and take in some sweet city views 46.8 metres above the infamous pitch. Perfect for couples looking to add a little bit of urban adventure to the equation! Then there’s the added bonus of enjoying a locally-brewed beer, soft drink, or glass of bubbly in the bar afterwards, if you fancy. 

Our top tips? Time your visit at sunset for the most magical experience (and the best snapping opportunities), or else keep your eyes peeled for the signature golden cockerel perched atop the stadium, too.

‍4. Serpentine Pedalo 

We couldn’t name a more romantic date than drifting down London’s oldest boating lake, iced coffee (or tea) in hand… sound good? Take a trip to Hyde Park’s Serpentine, where you can rent a pedalo for up to an hour, and embark on a soothing trip around the sun-soaked lake. There’s no shortage of wildlife, landmarks, and beautiful greenery to set the scene, too.
