Save this one for your next Dote day

Climb the hill to the General Wolfe statue for a view over the Queen's House, the Old Royal Naval College, the Thames and the towers of Canary Wharf.

Why it's a good date: It's one of the best free views in London, and there's plenty of grass for a picnic once you've caught your breath. Go late on a clear afternoon and watch the light change over the city.
