Date spot in Greenwich

Nevada Street, Greenwich
Address: 9 Nevada Street, London SE10 9JL- Bar
- Rain-proof ☔
- Mid-price

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.

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.

Greenwich Foot Tunnel
Cutty Sark Gardens, Greenwich
Address: Greenwich Foot Tunnel, Cutty Sark Gardens, London SE10 9HT- Outdoors
- Free
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.
