5 dates she’ll love this autumn

Autumn can be a tricky time of year to start dating; it’s not warm or light enough for a romantic stroll around the park anymore, and it’s not yet cold or dark enough for you to justify sitting inside on the sofa all night, either. The trick with dating is to mix it up; of course everyone likes going to the cinema – but not every single time. There’s definitely something to be said for a man who wines, dines and pushes the boat out for his lady. Read on for 5 dates we know she will love this autumn.

Taking a girl to Bounce is the fastest way to let her know that you’re fun, that you don’t take anything too seriously (which is a good thing, by the way) and that you’re not afraid to step outside of the conventional dating rule-book. Incase you’ve been living under a rock, Bounce is the one of the coolest places to head to in London right now and has (very) successfully taken ping pong as being an activity quietly reserved for the corner of a bar, to being the centre focal point of the room. Bounce is a bar, a restaurant and ping pong haven all at the same time and you’d be crazy to miss out on this. Plus, the Shoreditch location literally just opened earlier this month.

If a night of ping pong and cocktails sounds like far too strenuous an activity for you, then Toto’s might be more up your street. Knightsbridge as a destination is bound to impress any lady and taking her to Toto’s is the fastest way to guarantee a second, third or fourth date. The discreet but impressive restaurant and bar is located in a Grade-II listed house and has just undergone a 2 year renovation so don’t worry – you’re not going to be surrounded by stuffy clientele.

The Charlotte Street Hotel is one of London’s best bars, and taking her here is the fastest way to impress a girl – trust us. This isn’t just any old bar in London; it’s one of the coolest, most stylish and timeless institutions in central London and somewhere you need to visit this autumn. Not only do they offer some of the best cocktails in town, but the atmosphere of the place is warm and friendly – perfect for a cold autumn evening.

For the adventurous among us, Secret Cinema is one of the best places to take your girl this autumn – if you can stomach the spontaneity. Secret Cinema aims to quite simply put the creativity back in cinema; to entice viewers and to create an experience that you wouldn’t get from watching the latest blockbuster at Vue Westfield. Each film runs for about 3 months and happen in secret locations across the city – hence the name. You’ll find out where you’re going a couple of days before your date and we promise that this is the fastest way to keep your girl interested.

If you’re daring enough to take someone out on a Friday or Saturday night, Experimental Cocktail Club should be the only place on your list. The bar – which lives up to it’s name in literally creating experimental cocktails -is fast becoming one of London’s best-loved institutions and one of the most stylish speakeasy’s on the scene. If impressing your girl is on the agenda – take her here.
