Here are the seven essential ingredients needed for a romantic weekend getaway in London.
1. Music. To set the stage for a romantic weekend evening, music provides the perfect backdrop for a relaxing weekend. If you don’t already have some, buy some iPod speakers so you can listen to your favorite sounds. Otherwise, every music store sells fabulous compilation CDs of romantic music that will set the tone for your alone time.
2.Champagne. For less than £25 you can buy a decent bottle of champagne. Ask your hotel/reception to provide you with an ice bucket and, voila, chilled champagne to share with that special person in your life.
3. Chocolates. Very few women can resist good quality chocolate, although tastes vary. Some prefer the lighter touch of milk chocolate, while true chocoholics appreciate the best dark chocolates like Lindt 70%. Why not combine the sensual pleasure of chocolate with the fun of body paint by combining the two with chocolate flavored body paint? To apply carefully with a brush or by patting and licking!
4. A romantic meal. Luxury takeaway food delivered to the apartment. What is your favorite food? oysters? Caviar? You can arrange to have a top-notch meal delivered to your apartment by one of London’s superb caterers. Or, if you prefer, you can simply order a pizza! If you are staying in London, then you might consider taking a romantic cruise on the River Thames, where you can enjoy dinner for two with wonderful views while cruising down the river and taking in its fabulous panorama. The river is beautifully illuminated at night.
5. A bouquet of flowers. No woman can fail to be delighted when receiving a bouquet of beautifully scented flowers. Choose the lady’s favorite color of hers and she will be delighted with the consideration of her. Roses are the number one favourite, but lilies and skin tones are also beautiful and known to be well received. Order them online now so they’re waiting for you when you arrive.
6. Aromatherapy oils and candles. Every woman loves to enjoy the luxury of a candlelit bath while surrounded by beautifully colored scented candles. Take some time to carefully choose sensual fragrances for the special someone in your life to enjoy.
7. Private apartment. If you come to London, you can rent a beautiful studio just off Trafalgar Square at a very reasonable price just a two-minute walk from the romantic River Thames. You will be able to enjoy the privacy and intimacy of having your own apartment with its own fully equipped kitchen to prepare snacks and your own private bathroom. Within walking distance of the London Eye, a must for visitors to London. Enjoy its slow rotation while you contemplate one of the most impressive horizons in the world. Soho and Covent Garden are within easy reach. You can stroll along the river on the Jubilee Bridge and meander along the South Bank.
If you fancy a romantic getaway, London offers the perfect getaway.
