5 Valentine’s Day Ideas
It’s a Friday in early January and one of our team members, Rafael, has a date later in the month, being 18 and impressionable he wanted to know where he could take a lady for a date. Immediately everyone in the office jumps in with their suggestions for where he should take his date.
Countless ideas are thrown forward. Ideas of a trip to The Shard, a game of glow in the dark ping pong, a date to the cinema to watch Leonardo Dicaprio’s latest movie The Revenant, and even the classic shout of a dinner at a fancy restaurant come up.
A date to the cinema mixed with some drinks at a popular bar after ends up being his solid plan for the date. However from this we learned that there are so many options and choices for places to take a date in London, and with so much choice and quality how do you impress your date? Especially on the biggest day for dates; Valentine’s Day!
Well with the big day coming up we at The House have collected 5 solid Valentine’s day date ideas that’ll go down well with you and your and date!

2. Alcoholic Architecture: http://www.alcoholicarchitecture.com/
Looking for something a bit more unconventional? Well you’ll love this. Alcoholic Architecture seems like more of an experimental date in every sense of the word. Alcoholic Architecture is located in Borough Market, and features a walk-in cloud of breathable cocktail, which is taken into the bloodstream through your lungs, and consists of a 1:3 ratio of fine spirits and mixer. Definitely an adventurous date, but one to consider for sure.
3. The Little Orchestra: http://www.thelittleorchestra.com/
Looking for something a bit classy, yet affordable? The little orchestra performs relaxed, comfortable, and informal concerts on a small scale for an hour. The main performance is followed by an amazing jazz ensemble and a bar staying open until midnight. Take a visit and transport yourself to a zone of complete relaxation.
4. Shaka Zulu: http://www.shaka-zulu.com/
Looking to try something new? But not like regular new stuff like cocaine or sushi, but crazy new, like crocodile cigars or ostrich terrine! Shaka Zulu’s exotic menu is certainly full of surprises to make a date interesting. The two floor restaurant in Camden offers a lot to anyone visiting; amazing food, a bar, a club, live music, and dancing makes this place an absolute must to visit.
