    Take the guided tour of a jewellery workshop left just as it was when its owners locked the door for the last time in 1981, tools, half-finished pieces and all.

    Why it's a good date: A little time capsule, full of stories. Afterwards, wander the Jewellery Quarter's streets and window-shop for rings, if that's where things are heading.

    Why it's a good date: Small, moving and full of real lives, and the guides are brilliant. Tours are small and book up, so get tickets ahead, then eat in Chinatown round the corner.
