The 30 Best Romantic in London

“I first found Spaghetti House after playing football across the street in Tufnell Park a few years ago, by accident really. What I found with my Dad was an absolute gem of a restaurant. They have a good variety of options food-wise. I usually go for the Pizza, but the Pasta, Calzone and Meat dishes are all good options too. Prices for these meals usually vary between £8-15, so fantastic value. The beers and wine are reasonably priced too. Despite being part of a chain, I have to say that that is not the vibe you get at all in this restaurant. It is homely, owned (at least in part I believe?) by the staff and a hugely relaxing setting to eat in. The food is great, the prices are very good, but the best part of Spaghetti House is without question the service. You are always greeted with a smile, a handshake, and if you're lucky perhaps even a free shot at the end. The restaurant is just opposite the Tufnell Park Dome, which does quite a few gigs around the year. If you're in the area, I would highly recommend popping into the Spaghetti House for a fantastic meal!”

“Traditional Italian restaurant serving dishes as you would expect but also traditional street food from the region of Puglia. Service and staff were outstanding. The restaurant decor is stylish modern but a relaxing chiled out ambiance, especially in the evening when the lights are dim. There is 2 dinning areas the main area for parties of 4 or more then a side "hut" for parties of 2. This is better if you want an intimate less distracting meal with a friend or partner but can get cold in winter I assume due to the blankets that are available. The menus is made up of 4 main categories. Bites or starters which are small dishes. Shared plates you get a little more and order a few if you are not having a main dish. Bombetta - traditional Italian cured meats with cheese. Grills - main dishes. Everything on the menu was delicious without exception! The wine list is good but this can add up quickly to your total bill so have a drink before hand if you are feeling thirsty! All in all this is a hidden gem in the area and we'll worth a visit. I'll definitely come back to try other items on the menus as it all looked and tasted delicious!”

“The tomato noodle was sooooo good! Especially in this cold weather. Tasted that soup and swallowed the whole way down to your stomach. Warming up your whole body. That was really nice.”

“I had a wonderful experience at Villa Mamas. The moment I stepped inside, the space felt warm and inviting — relaxed, stylish, and with a touch of homely Gulf charm that sets the tone for the entire meal. It’s the kind of restaurant where you instantly feel at ease. The food was the standout. I ordered the machboos, and it was exceptional — beautifully seasoned, aromatic, and full of depth without ever feeling heavy. Every bite had that comforting home-cooked quality, but elevated with precision and balance. You can clearly taste the chef’s roots and passion in the way each dish is put together. The service was also excellent. Staff were attentive without hovering, and genuinely friendly. They guided me through a few menu recommendations and checked in just the right amount. It made the experience feel personal rather than routine. Overall, this is one of the best Middle Eastern meals I’ve had in London. Authentic flavours, generous portions, a great atmosphere, and a team that really knows how to make guests feel welcome. I’ll definitely be returning.”

“I didn’t notice there was such a good, authentic chinese restaurant at elephant and castle. it easily became one of my favourites, with actual high quality chinese food. it was so good we couldn’t help but order more despite being so full!! the wonton soup is a must try (you could request for noodles with it). the salt baked french beans was new to me but so delicious and refreshing. the shrimp in kung po sauce was amazing (and authentic too). the crab fried rice was my favourite tho, the dryness of the dish was just right. finally they gave us desserts on the house, the chocolate cake was really good, not too spongey nor too sweet.”

“Nikita has amazing customer service,lovely bar staff great with what she does the atmosphere was amazing also Ryan although new to the job he’s very professional and good at what he does with good customer service”

“I had a genuinely excellent stay at ibis Styles London Ealing, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, the hotel felt welcoming, modern, and well cared for. After a long journey, Mac made the check-in process smooth, friendly, and completely stress-free, which instantly put me at ease and set a great tone for the stay. The room itself was spotless with a unique cinema theme that made it stand out from a typical hotel room. I especially appreciated the small personal touches, a welcome card waiting in the room and a little chocolate, which was such a nice surprise and made me feel genuinely welcomed. Another thoughtful detail that really impressed me was the complimentary pastries available one of the evenings I was there, along with free orange juice for guests. It’s a small gesture, but it adds a warm, generous feel to the hotel and shows real attention to guest experience. The room was comfortable, quiet, and relaxing, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was friendly and calm. Everything felt well organized and cared for, and it’s clear the team takes pride in what they do. I would happily stay here again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with excellent service and thoughtful touches throughout.”

“Stunning exterior and interior of the hotel. The rooms are beautiful and they have this victorian feel to it. Granted it is not the biggest for the price (Around £190/245usd a night). The only complains were the room doors arent exactly sound proof. You can hear when your neighbours come back and you can hear if people are talking right outside. Probably because the room i stayed in(241) has a visible gap underneath the room door. The ventilation in the bath room dont seem to work well, if you take a hot shower, it fogs up the toilet pretty badly. I mentioned it to the counter staff for maintenance to check and was quickly brushed off with its normal, its like that. The location wise is excellent. It is literally right beside Gloucester station which has Piccadilly line to Heathrow airport. Great connectivity via Central/district lines to the city centre as well. There is a Tesco express just opposite and a larger Sainsbury's supermarket around a 8 mins walk away. Multiple food options are within stone throw. Just the location alone deserves 5 stars. Overall I had a rather pleasant stay.”

“I recommend this hotel if you want to be within easy walking distance for Abba Voyage. I stayed for two nights in a double room that was well kitted out and spotlessly clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming and super helpful. You can have pizza at the hotel for your evening meal but if that isn't your thing there are many eating places close by.”

“The hotel is located near a station and in the middle of a large outdoor mall. Lots of restaurants nearby. Very friendly service. Hassan was so helpful and hospitable when we arrived and when we had questions. Ana was so kind and went above and beyond while assisting us during breakfast helping me with a gluten free option. The breakfast was a much larger spread then I expected. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. We also had dinner one night at the restaurant in the hotel. I ordered the green curry (gf) and my husband the fish and chips. We were both pleased with our meals. We would definitely return to this Hyatt house. Great stay.”

“This is a rather special old inn. We had a wonderful, though very brief, overnight stay with breakfast in the morning, the day after a long road journey. Wound down with a nightcap in the company of James and Jules at the bar; they were great hosts. The room and, in particular, the bed were just superb. The bathroom: everything clean and just as you'd want it. Mary made us a very good breakfast and was also very friendly. It was clear all the staff we met actually care and want their guests to enjoy their stay and be comfortable. Highly recommended.”

“Dear Mayfair Hotel Team, I wanted to take a moment to share how impressed we were with your manager during our recent stay. Mr Akil Syrd. professionalism, warmth, and genuine care truly elevated our entire experience. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome and looked after. His attention to detail was exceptional — he remembered our preferences, anticipated what we needed, and handled every request with efficiency and grace. Whenever we needed help, he stepped in immediately and went above and beyond to accommodate us. What stood out most was how sincere and thoughtful he was in every interaction. He balanced attentiveness with a natural ease that made us feel comfortable and valued as guests. It’s rare to encounter someone who embodies true hospitality the way he does. Please extend our gratitude to Akil Syrd , His dedication and outstanding service left a lasting impression, and he is a wonderful reflection of the Mayfair Hotel.”

“Had Ikebana Lesson here recently. Absolutely enjoyed the lesson! Orchidya is a lovely, sweet shop too. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend to anyone need bouquets for occasions, and anyone interested in Japanese flower arranging.”

“This truly is a lovely restaurant. The waiters are very caring and attentive. I need gluten free because I am celiac and they work with the chef to let you know what you can eat. The food tastes amazing. I have eaten here 2 nights in a row cos it was so good. My husband is carnivore so we struggle to find a good place lace. This is awesome.”

“Excellent food and service. You couldn’t want for much more from an all you can eat restaurant. Food arrives timely and hot. Very tasty. Great staff and very helpful. Highly recommend the place.”

“I am very sad to report that Maxims has, for months, been closed. There seems to be no evidence that anything has been moved or changed inside. The website states that it is 'temporarily closed' so I do hope that it will re-open very soon. I have eaten there many times and it was always a pleasure - pleasant surroundings, helpful staff and excellent food.”

“akshay he is very good customer adviser! top class service, highly recommended restaurant”

“This was a really dericious curry. Potentially, one of the best curries I've had in the western hemisphere, so much so, I've revoked my Bengali passport. Seriously great place. I'll be back, in this life or the next.”

“I ordered a takeaway, which was personally delivered by the manager Who informed me a couple of Items were given for my service. The Food was fresh, hot and full of flavours. On the occasion when I’ve popped in, the staff will always been friendly. I believe it’s the best Indian restaurant in Wantsted.”

“We just found this litte gem what can I say from the friendly staff to the stunning food will definitely be coming back !!”

“My friend and I enjoyed the Christmas carbonara - it looks, smells and tastes like the festive season! Great amount as well haha we're both feeling stuffed. Rich in sauce and generous in turkey bits. I was worried turkey will be conventionally dry but in fact it's very tender and we are both very impressed. Best turkey ever.”

“A Hidden Gem in Chelsea – Made in Italy If you’re looking for an authentic Italian experience in Chelsea, Made in Italy is the place to be. This cozy, welcoming restaurant perfectly blends charm, flavor, and exceptional service. From the moment you step inside, the warm and friendly crew makes you feel right at home. The service is seamless – attentive without being intrusive, and you can tell they genuinely care about your dining experience. Now, let’s talk about the food. The pizza is nothing short of spectacular – a true testament to the artistry of Italian cooking. Perfectly crisp crusts, fresh and flavorful toppings, and that signature wood-fired taste that transports you straight to Naples. Beyond the pizza, the menu is filled with delightful options that showcase the best of Italian cuisine. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or a leisurely meal, Made in Italy delivers every time. It’s rare to find a spot that ticks all the boxes: ambiance, great service, and unforgettable food. For anyone in Chelsea, this restaurant is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning soon! Does this fit your vision?”

“Tom is an amazing host and waiter. Tended to every want we had. He was very professional regarding keeping our laughs down to not disturb others and was very keen on making sure our experience and others was amazing.”

“Tatiane is amazing – she creates a unique, warm and family-like atmosphere in the pub. Coming here feels just like home. The food is, as always, delicious.”

“Very good service from Chantelle and the team here with reasonable prices and great food. I had the margarita pizza and it was very good.”

“Brilliant sports pub loads of screens and load music, perfect”

“i had a really great time at the monkey valley. The zoo staff member was amazing she knew all the monkey names and was so cheerful and bubbly when delivering all her knowledge of the colobus monkeys. I loved it because i love all kinds of monkeys and seeing them and being among them just made my day”

“I discovered Spa Bar a few months ago, and I've experienced different treatments, all of which I have been highly impressed with. The lymphatic massages are incredible as are the facials. I'd highly recommend this salon and would definitely experience one of the lymphatic massages. Kiran is highly experienced and it's always lovely having a catch up with her during the treatments!”

“We enjoyed everything about our 2 night stay. The location was convenient, the food was delicious, the staff were helpful and friendly, the room was comfortable, and the check in-out process was smooth.”

“We LOVED using these boats in London. This was our preferred mode of transportation. The lines moved pretty quickly, it just depends on how early you make it there. And how late in the day it is (sometimes they would be behind schedule and have to leave early) The only negative was that the experience varied every time. Sometimes there would be a tour, and sometimes not. Overall would recommend, though. A great way to see the city.”
