College Approach, Greenwich

Greenwich Market, London SE10 9HZ

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.

  • The inside of the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, a long white-tiled tube with lights along its ceiling stretching into the distance

    Cutty Sark Gardens, Greenwich

    Greenwich Foot Tunnel, Cutty Sark Gardens, London SE10 9HT

    Walk under the Thames through a tiled Victorian tunnel to Island Gardens, then look back across the river at the Old Royal Naval College.

    Why it's a good date: It's free, a bit eerie and over in a few minutes, and the view from Island Gardens on the far side is the classic picture of Greenwich. The lifts are sometimes out, so be ready for the stairs.

  • The Trafalgar Tavern's cream-painted front with balconies and bay windows, standing on the bank of the Thames below wooded slopes

    Park Row, Greenwich riverside

    Park Row, London SE10 9NW

    Have a drink or a pub dinner by the big bay windows of a grand riverside tavern, built in 1837 right on the edge of the Thames.

    Why it's a good date: The windows look straight onto the river, so try for a table beside one and watch the boats go by. It's next to the Old Royal Naval College, so it's an easy stop after the Painted Hall.

    Why it's a good date: A few minutes in a gondola with the whole of east London spread out below you. Go at dusk and watch the lights come on along the river.
