A Meal in the Crypt

For an unusual and a once in a lifetime dining experience, head down to the crypt at St. Martin in the Fields.

Just across the street from Trafalgar Square, there is a nice cafe in the Crypt under the church that serves the most delicious classic British dishes and desserts! Don’t worry, the crypt is not creepy at all, it’s been beautifully re-done and provides a great space to have a meal!

Not only would you get the chance to enjoy a meal in a crypt, you could have dinner and a show as Wednesday nights are Jazz nights. As you sit back and relax in this unique setting, enjoy some live jazz! You could even get up and dance if you feel so inclined!

Dinner in the crypt at St. Martin in the Fields is not an experience to be missed. It’s the perfect date night!

If you’d rather just pop into the beautiful church, they often host free concerts. The Church itself is a wonder to behold and has incredible history!

Head over to St. Martin in the Fields with your significant other the next time in London, you will not regret it!

Relationship Tip: Do some research for your vacation date night and pick somewhere that will be memorable!

Shakespeare at the Globe

If you find yourself in London in the Summer, there is no better thing to do for a date than seeing a Shakespeare play at the Globe Theatre! This summer is the “Summer of Love” at the Globe.

They will be showing Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night, Tristan and Yseult, Much Ado About Nothing, King Lear and more! Check here for the Globe calendar to see what is playing when.

Going to the globe is such an incredible experience! You can buy seats ahead of time between 20 - 45 pounds ($26 - $58.50) or you can standing tickets for only 5 pounds ($6.50).

I’ve had the chance to go to a few shows at the Globe and it was an incredible experience! Although you have to stand the whole time if you get the cheaper tickets, you get to be much closer to the stage. You feel as though you are part of the story!

There are day shows as well as evening shows. You could go for lunch or dinner and then enjoy a show at Shakespeare’s Globe!

Relationship Tip: Experience culture and make a great memory together at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre! Such sweet memories made together will never be forgotten.

Cycle Through the London Parks!

When in London, pay two pounds for a day of fun cycling through all of the gorgeous parks of London with Santander Cycle Hire Bikes. You could enjoy Regent’s Park, St. James’ Park, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Green Park, Hampstead Heath and more!

Cycling is a great way to see London, and if you go through the parks you will stay safe and just be able to enjoy the view! You could even stop to have a rest and enjoy a nice picnic together near Buckingham Palace or in front of the Prince Albert statue in Hyde Park!

All you have to do to rent the bikes is follow the instructions show on the video here and below:

Step 1: Hire

• Go to the nearest docking station terminal with your debit or credit card and touch the screen to begin
• Choose 'Hire a cycle', follow the on-screen instructions and take the printed release code
• You can hire up to four bikes at the same time (you'll need a separate release code for each bike)

Tip: Santander Cycles is for short trips so, once you have paid the £2 bike access fee for the day, the first 30 minutes of each journey is free. Longer journeys cost £2 for each extra 30 minutes.

Tip: Each bike release code is valid for 10 minutes and only at that docking station. Bikes are valuable so don't let anyone see your code before you use it.

Step 2: Ride

• Take a moment to read our tips for safer cycling at the terminal
• Choose your bike and check the tyres, brakes and bell
• Type your five-digit release code into the docking point's keypad and pull the bike out when the green light appears
• Adjust the saddle height and you're good to go!

Tip: The bikes have lights that come on automatically when you start pedalling.

Step 3: Return

• Push the bike firmly into any empty docking point
• You must wait for the green light, which will show that the bike is securely docked (otherwise we will continue to charge you for your journey). If you don't get a green light, call the Contact Centre immediately on 0343 222 6666 (TfL call charges)
• If the docking station is full, choose 'No docking point free' at the terminal and follow the on-screen directions to get an extra 15 minutes free
• To find a nearby space if the docking station is full, choose 'Status of nearest docking station' at the terminal.
• Remember, if you're not using the bike, dock it back!

Tip: If the bike is unsafe to ride, please let us know it needs repairing by pressing the 'Fault' button on the docking point within 10 seconds of docking it. Turn the saddle backwards to show others that it needs repairing.

Tip: You will need to wait five minutes before hiring another bike.

My husband and I love to go on bike rides, it's one of our favorite things to do together! It’s great exercise and great fun! It’s also the perfect way to see the city in a cheap and unique way! I have lots of my own memories cycling through London and they are certain to never be forgotten!

Relationship Tip: Doing exercise doesn’t always have to be boring or miserable. Make a date out of it! You will feel great and have great fun with your significant other!

All of the delicious chicken comes drenched in a delicious mild, medium or hot sauce depending on your preference.
