Walk the beach among Antony Gormley's Another Place: 100 cast-iron figures standing along the sand, all looking out to sea.
Why it's a good date: A short train ride out and you're on a wide, windswept beach with a hundred silent companions. Go for sunset, and stay off the soft sand near the figures furthest out: the tide comes in fast.

Have a pint in one of England's grandest Victorian pubs, all mosaics, stained glass, carved wood and famously ornate marble gents' toilets.
Why it's a good date: A drink somewhere this beautiful costs no more than anywhere else. It's across the road from the Philharmonic Hall, so it's the natural place to start a concert night.
