As it’s the day after Pancake Day this year, you’d be forgiven for sacking off Valentine’s Day altogether. After all, it’s a commercially-fabricated holiday filled with soppy tat and social pressures.
And no pancakes are involved. Still, dating is cute, isn’t it? So, why not go on a date anyway? Here are some none-mushy things you could do in London!
Go Trampolining
Get bouncing, flipping and playing at Zap Space, an amazing adult playground filled with trampolines, slides, climbing frames, sponge pits and bouncing dodgeball arenas. Just visit their website and take a look at the promo video they’ve made of their venue: it’s honestly the coolest thing ever.
Go To An Arcade
Go vintage and pretend it’s 1999 at a good, old-fashioned arcade. Win a stuffed animal on the claw machine, feed endless 2 pence pieces into the coin pushers, and get a go on the dodgems like a couple of teens. An original and best, Namco in London is nestled by the Thames so you can even pretend you’re seaside.

Go Curling
Indulge in the winter version of bowling at Roof East: here you’ll do that winter Olympian thing, but in neon. Then have a drink in an igloo pod afterwards. Well, if you can’t beat the weather…

Dine in the Dark
Bored of looking at your partner? Why not dine in the dark? We’re kidding. You probably can’t get enough of looking at them. But dining in the dark is a cool thing to do anyway. Allow your senses to guide your way through a truly unique dining experience.
