London is gearing up for Valentine’s Day. London & Partners — the official promotional organization for the city — has compiled a comprehensive guide of these attractions, restaurants, shops and hotels preparing to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day.

The London Eye is offering couples a choice from the “Valentine’s Champagne and Canapé” experience, with chilled champagne and romantic-themed nibbles on board the capsule, or the “Red Rose” experience, with a red rose and special chocolates for each pair. For the ultimate escape, couples can steal a few moments alone while enjoying a Cupid’s Capsule, which offers a completely private window to the capital. Guests will have their own personal host who will serve them chocolates and champagne.

The Romantic River Night Cruise begins at Westminster Pier, where couples will be welcomed aboard with a glass of sparkling wine. As the boat heads down to the Thames Barrier, they will be able to have a three-course meal with wine, and on the homeward journey, guests will be entertained by a live band, with time for dancing. The River Thames offers a spectacular setting, and the illuminated monuments along the river bank provide a backdrop for a romantic evening cruise.

The Pleasure Garden Ball at the Museum of London is a night of dancing, drinking and decadence as the museum recreates Georgian London’s quintessential pastime — dancing the night away in the pleasure garden — with a flirty Valentine’s twist. Clients can learn to dance with an 18th century girl band, hear saucy poetry by Write Queer London, discover fashion dandy-style, and design and wear their own alluring masquerade mask.

Valentine’s Day on the Orient Express includes a special steam-hauled lunch or dinner. The train will depart from London Victoria, and guests will settle down in the vintage carriages for a five-course lunch or dinner with champagne and wine, accompanied by live entertainment. To make a Valentine’s trip extra special, guests can request a coupé, a compartment set away from the main carriage, and order Champagne, caviar or a bouquet of 12 red roses to be waiting for them on board. The train manager can also help facilitate a proposal and prepare the perfect moment.

Maddox, London’s leading boutique members nightclub, will offer members and non-members table bookings in the restaurant and VIP club, with the ultimate complimentary cocktail shots – an Aphrodisiac or a Hangover Cure. The Aphrodisiac shot is made up of pomegranate liqueur, fresh strawberries and watermelon, a dash of tomato juice and finished with a measure of absinthe, and the Hangover Cure comprises of fresh blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and a splash of mandarin vodka.

For an inspired gift this Valentine’s Day, London’s leading floral design academy, The Covent Garden Academy of Flowers, offers a voucher for a floral design evening or day course. Alternatively clients can buy ready-made bouquets to win your Valentine’s heart.
