  • Culture
  • Free

Ride the escalators up through the library's ring of books to its two roof garden terraces, then on to the panelled Victorian Shakespeare room at the very top.

Why it's a good date: Free, quietly spectacular, and the terraces have some of the best views in the city. Keep your voices down on the way up.
