Valentines Day 2011 ideas in London

You want to make valentines day a special one but you are stuck for ideas, inspiration or just feel a little overwhelmed on where and what to do. London is a very romantic city so that is a good start for basing your valentine night on a special and magnificent city such as London.

My 2011 London valentine suggestions are on the basis that your valentine appreciates exploring and enjoying new experiences and likes to capture the magic of city by walking through its streets and districts. A really romantic night in London for me is to wander and meander through the little boutiques and side streets of Soho. You will be captivated by the energy and the cuteness of this area of London and will be able to impress your valentine with your knowledge of the hidden gems of London. As you wander through Soho perhaps stop for a romantic candle lit dinner at Hix Restaurant which serves up the finest food. Once you have finished your dinner, woo your valentine in London by then taking them up the CentrePointTower just off Soho by Tottenham Court Road to the Paramount Bar. This is a sky top cocktail bar that will stun both of you with the breathtaking views over London. It really is a truly unique and intimate place to spend your valentine in 2011 looking over the city of London.

If Soho is not your thing then consider taking your valentine in London to Mayfair to all the glitz, glamour and class of this famous London district. You can start your night off with a romantic stroll through St James Park, peering over to check out if the Queen is having a valentine night with Phillip, and then on through Green Park, kicking back through the winter leaves and dreaming of sunnier climes together. I would then head over to Nobu which is a fantastic place to impress your valentine as the food is delicious and exotic cooked by some of the finest Japanese chefs in London. You might even find yourself next to a celebrity couple also enjoying their valentine night in London. After your valentine meal I would suggest a stop at the fabulous Mayfair Barwhich is classic and prestigious bar that will create a delicate atmosphere for your valentine date.

My final London valentine 2011 tip is to head west to Notting Hill. This charming borough of London never fails to get the heart pumping and will have your valentine weak at the knees. Stroll along Portobello Road at night and peer through the boutique windows and meander through the beautiful back streets of Notting Hill admiring the Victorian houses. You can then treat your London valentine to some delicious cocktails and an extravagant meal at Beach Blanket Babylon which is an elegant but mystical world of food, art and fine drinks. This is a unique and special venue to treat your valentine and you will both be impressed with the creativity of this restaurant and bar.

Make sure you plan your valentine night in London to perfection, book ahead as my valentine suggestions above will more than likely book out before the night.
