Dote

Date spot in Greenwich

Trafalgar Tavern

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.

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

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.

    Clip on a harness and climb a walkway over the roof of The O2 to a platform at the top, with views right across London.

    Why it's a good date: It's a small adventure you do side by side, and the view from the top is a good reward. Book a sunset or twilight climb, then head down for dinner on the Peninsula.
