Paris may be known as the most romantic city in the world but this doesn’t mean that the English capital cannot offer beautiful and breathtaking sites and areas to its lovers. Here are six of the most romantic spots in London.
St. Pancras
The area of St. Pancras lies in the central parts of the British capital and is considered to be one of the city’s most fascinating and romantic districts. The area isn’t home to any major landmarks with the exception of the well-known Old St. Pancras Church which is one of the district’s most emblematic edifices. The St. Pancras Railway Station is another well-known local place of interest. The transportation hub is the location of the “The Meeting Place” a 9 metres tall statue by renowned British sculpture Paul Day which depicts a man and woman kissing. The statue honors all couples which split or were reunited at the piers of the station.
St. Paul’s Cathedral
St. Paul’s Cathedral is one of London’s most famous and visited landmarks. It was built from 1675 to 1711 and consecrated during the late 17th century. The cathedral was designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the English Baroque style and is presently one of the city’s most distinguishable structures. Its 67 metres tall tower offers amazing vistas of the English capital which become even more fascinating during sunset.
Kynance Mews
It is no secret that London has plenty of narrow cobbled streets which are ideal for a romantic stroll with your loved one. However, no lane can rival Kynance Mews in Kensington in terms of unique atmosphere and romantic ambiance. So, if you are not feeling like staying indoors with your partner you should definitely consider exploring this charming street and stealing one or two clandestine kisses along the way.
Primrose Hill
Primrose Hill is a district in the Borough of Camden which is located on a hill at a height of 65 metres. The area offers majestic views of the British capital and is considered to be one of the city’s most desirable residential neighbourhoods due to its romantic and charismatic ambiance. So, if you are looking to reside in a district which promotes love and beautiful emotions, Primrose Hill is beyond any doubt the perfect place for you and the best time is that you can easily relocate with the help of professional movers. Just bear in mind that the area is home to some of the most expensive properties in London.
Fox & Anchor
This is arguably London’s most romantic public house. Located in the lovely district of Clerkenwell in the central parts of the city, the Fox & Anchor will give you the opportunity to spend a nice, peaceful and secluded meal with your significant other. You should also note that the food is super tasty.
Greenwich Park
Hyde Park may be London’s most popular green area but Greenwich Park is considered by many to be the most beautiful. Situated in the astonishing area of Greenwich, this open space dates back to the 15th century when it was used as a hunting ground. It spreads over 180 acres and is the ideal spot to have a romantic picnic or stroll with your lover.
