With Champagne bars and restaurants aplenty, London will never be short of all the classic Valentines traditions. But if you are spending the most romantic day of the year here, then it could be the perfect opportunity to break the norm and do something a little different.

Nothing stands the test of time in a relationship quite like a sense of humour. The award winning 99 Club in Leicester Square is hosting what promises to be a side-splittingly funny night out, complete with a Couples Champagne Package, or Valentines Meal Package. For this you will have your wits tickled, accompanied by bottle of champers and a meal, as well as entry to the nightclub afterwards.

For something a little more sultry, the Royal Albert Hall is presenting a delightful Valentines evening with a champagne jazz session. Enjoy being serenaded by the silky dulcitones of vocalist Nicola Emmanuelle, whilst drinking a bottle of Mercier Champagne, and tickling your tastebuds with a sharing platter and some chocolate truffles: A great evening in one of Britain’s most iconic venues.

The Royal Observatory in Greenwich for a unique and extremely romantic setting for this special night. The programme consists of a planetarium show exploring the romantic side of astronomy, as well as the chance to look at the moon through the impressive 18 tonne Victorian telescope. After which you can spend time on the Prime Meridian with its spectacular views, a glass of bubbly and some astronomers to answer your starry questions.

If you want to really push the boat out then The Love Float is just the thing. Setting off in Chelsea, you and your partner can jump into a double kayak and make your way down the Thames to the Houses of Parliament. The trip begins with a mug of luxury Charbonel et Walker hot chocolate followed by all the necessary equipment and instructions. You then set off on your journey, stopping off at the river vista for a photograph, all the while being serenaded by musicians aboard a bespoke kayak alongside you. Upon your return you will be given another warming drink and use of the changing rooms to spruce up for the evening.
