Deciding on where to go for a date can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be if you keep these ideas in mind.
One of the more lavish and grand options for a date, that will certainly impress, is to visit the opera or an orchestral performance. These performances are typically at the larger and more high-end auditoriums around the city so it is not the cheapest date idea, but it will be worth it in the end. If these seem a bit too much for you, you can always go to a musical alternatively, which is slightly more accessible for many people. With the likes of David Babani having his productions performed in London, there is a wonderful wide variety in performances; a number of his productions are interesting and very distinctive to what you might expect. There is also an exciting range in the size and style of the auditoriums, varying from big and well-known ones, to smaller more intimate venues that put you right up close to the stage. These places will also play very different musicals, some offering dramatic and emotional performances, and then some which are light hearted musicals with a comical aspect to them.
Just about the most common date nights is to just go for a meal at a restaurant, while this is pleasant, you can always do a bit better. An alternative would be to go for a meal and then go out to enjoy a play afterwards; mixing two separate date ideas is an easy way to make your date twice as excellent. You will never be short of choices, with the West End having many different productions and plays on each weekend. Whatever the style or type of production you are looking for, you will be able to come by it in the West End; with such variety you will usually come across productions you enjoy, such as the ones produced by Sally Greene. Mixing a good meal with a trip to a staged performance makes for a great date idea and it will surprise your other half a lot more than just choosing a meal.
There are many different things to do on a date and London has all of them. Going to a good or trendy bar is a very popular choice, especially for a first date. There are loads of really exciting and niche places that you can go to, so you will definitely have somewhere new to try each weekend. Many bars will have music playing, and in a great deal of them the music is one of the biggest elements of the bar. In Soho there is a music bar which is an amazing place for a date and the bar is about the most renowned 1940’s style bars, so it is far from dull. The bar, owned by Charlie Gilkes, has a great selection of cocktails and frequently has swing music playing so it is really fun and makes for an amazing date location.
