Where to take an eligible date November
The weather may be getting colder, and the days shorter but that shouldn't stop you from making the most of what the city has to offer. If you're trying to impress an eligible date, here are our top tips for November:
Helicopter Ride, Battersea
If you really want to make an impression why don't you surprise your date by taking her on a Helicopter Ride over London. With incredibly views and a selection of routes The London Helicopter Company is a great idea. They even have an after dark route in case you're worried of the days drawing shorter. Prices start from just £150 per person and you can go all the way from Kew to Canary Wharf. What fun!
Champagne Tasting At Berry Brothers, St James St
If you fancy doing something a bit more grounded but still want to treat her to a special occasion I highly recommend a trip to Berry Brothers for one of their events. On the 14th of November they have an evening of Champagne tasting with a wide selection of some of the most delicious Louis Roedere champagnes. If you prefer wine tasting they have a jam packed event diary so check out their site for more info - but be warned, tickets book up fast.
