Date spot in Greenwich
Cutty Sark
Explore the last surviving tea clipper, from the crew's quarters below deck up to the open deck, then walk underneath her raised copper hull.
Why it's a good date: Not many dates involve standing under the hull of a sailing ship. It's right by the pier, so it fits neatly round a boat trip.

Oliver's Jazz Bar
Nevada Street, Greenwich
Address: 9 Nevada Street, London SE10 9JL- Bar
- Rain-proof ☔
- Mid-price
- Cosy
- Big night
Squeeze into a small, low-lit bar for live jazz most nights, from touring players to late-night jam sessions.
Why it's a good date: Low lights, close tables and musicians a few feet away make it an easy place to lose track of time. There's an open fire in winter, and the music starts late, so have dinner first.
Climb the spiral Tulip Stairs and see the art collection in the white Palladian villa at the foot of Greenwich Park.
Why it's a good date: It's free and sits between the museum and the park, so it slots into any Greenwich day. Look straight up from the bottom of the Tulip Stairs.

Address: Greenwich Market, London SE10 9HZ- Activity
- Rain-proof ☔
- Cheap and cheerful
- Foodie
Browse crafts, prints, vintage and street food under the glass roof of a covered market in the middle of Greenwich.
Why it's a good date: Grab lunch from a couple of different stalls and share, then set each other a small budget to find the best little present. Different traders come on different days, so it's worth a second visit.
