      best romantic bars london

      Looking for the most romantic bars London has to offer? Look no further, we've got you.

      When you’re in the midst of wedding planning, with stretched budgets, impossible table plans, venue logistics and more, it can sometimes feel like romance is out of your reach.

      That’s why it’s important to take a break and make time for fun things with just the two of you. A romantic night out at one of the best bars for couples London has to offer is the perfect way to shake off the wed-min stress, reconnect & reignite the spark.

      And, we may be a little biased here... but starting your wedding registry is another great way to take a breather & shift your focus from the wedding to the bigger picture of why you’re doing this: You’re getting MARRIED! You're planning your LIFE TOGETHER! It’s REALLY exciting! You can even lock in some post-wedding date nights while you're at it! We've partnered with Truly, who offer some amazing experiences to add to your Wedding Shop wish list - from afternoon teas to gin tasting tours & more.

      To get you started, we’ve put together this handy shortlist of the most romantic and intimate bars in London. So, sit back, relax, pick your favourite and pencil in your next date night!

      Best Date Night Bars In London

      1. Gong Bar

      Where: The Shard
      ⁠The vibe: East meets West for sexy drinks in the sky

      A seriously impressive date night spot, Gong Bar is 52 storeys up in the Shard. Outrageously sexy, the bar is divided into two – one side for cocktails, the other for champagne – so you can pick your poison and savour it while watching the sunset over the city. Truly, one of the most romantic bars London has to offer.

      Channel that sexy East meets West vibe with the Hybrid Clarice Cocktail Glasses.

      Where: Mayfair
      The vibe: Lush rainforest tiki bar… but make it sexy

      The vibe: An intimate basement bar where whisky is king

      One for the whisky lovers… the main attraction is a literal tree trunk table filled with whisky cocktails. Turn one of the taps and watch the liquid gold flow through the tree towards your glass! Dimly lit, rugged and sexy, this is the perfect spot for late-night drinks.

      If you and your partner love a wee dram of an evening, consider adding a whisky-tasting experience to your Wedding Shop gift list
