Visit London has put together for a quirky, dreamy and alluring getaway for Valentine's and throughout the year in London. Here are a few of our favorite destination ideas:

Take A Twilight Tour Around A Museum In London - For the cultured couple, there is no better date location than a museum. Stocked with famous paintings from Van Gogh, Monet and Da Vinci, the National Gallery is an ideal place to get up close with famous pieces. And the experience is getting even more intimate on Valentine’s Day, with the museum offering a twilight tour of paintings focusing on love exclusively on Valentine’s Day. For couples with more contemporary taste, the Tate Modern is offering private tours around the museum. Tate Tours for Two gives private daytime or evening tours that can be paired with afternoon tea or a champagne meal.

Enjoy An Evening With The Stars - Celebrate the International Year of Astronomy at the Royal Observatory Greenwich. The Planetarium allows stargazers to look through the 28” telescope and wander around the modern astronomy galleries. Or visit London’s Bankside that has menus to allow celebrating couples to eat like kings and queens. Wine haven Vinopolis offers a vegetarian or meat tapas platter featuring food sourced from Spanish food specialist Brindisa in Borough Market. The restaurant will offer self-guided wine tours as well. For entertainment, Vinopolis will be hosting a Laughter Lounge with a lineup of top comedians to complement any wine selection. Another delicious option is a romantic dinner at Swan at the Globe Brasserie. Located within Shakespeare’s Globe theatre and offering outstanding views of the river, the restaurant is offers a wonderful selection of savory flavors on its menu.

Stay in and take a dip - The Berkeley Hotel can put together a romantic package that includes beautiful rooms and great amenities, and you can request a late check so you can snuggle with your loved one a bit longer to continue the romance. The Berkeley also has a rooftop pool for romantic evening dips under the stars.

EAST Festival brings London’s funky art scene center stage -  In Early March don't forget to visit the EAST Festival that demonstrates visual arts, music, fashion and much more, putting the spotlight on London’s creative capitals, including Hoxton, Hackney and Stratford. The festival kicks off with a look at navigation, and a launch performance will include 111 cyclists pedaling to a rare performance of Mauricio Kagel’s “Eine Brise” (A Breeze). The navigational theme will continue throughout the festival, mapping new walking itineraries and highlighting the network of bus routes that tour East London art spaces. Some of East London’s biggest attractions are going to be accessible via bicycle through Cycle East, a bike trip through the East End making a range of cultural stops, including performances by London playwrights and vocalists.

The EAST Festival will feature a showcase of Asian music with a Bollywood flair onstage in Spitalfields. The space will also feature “Reinventing Bollywood,” an exhibition on the relationship between women and Indian cinema and how they have been viewed both in front of and behind the camera. The Theater Royal Stratford East will present “Where’s My Desi Soulmate?,” a look at the dating rituals of contemporary British Asians, moving away from traditional norms and into the digital age.
