San Valentine's Day in London

San Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th each year in many countries around the world, although it remains a working day in most of them. After the New Year day, it's the most celebrated holiday around the world. 

In 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

So, is that time of the year again, when couples are looking for something unique to do on this coming Friday! Taking advantage of this day falls in Friday, it seems like a good excuse to make a make long weekend to rest and go on holidays! 

Romantic day

Valentine's Cruise across the Thames

Enjoy a romantic evening including the stunning sights of London, great food that is freshly prepared on board and excellent live entertainment.

London Aquarium , how deep is your love?

This Valentine’s Day you can flirt by a flounder, get gooey eyed over a Gentoo penguin, or just grab a friend, your complimentary glass of prosecco, and explore the fantastic SEA LIFE London Aquarium after-dark and adult-only this Valentine’s Day.

There’s fish. There’s booze. There’s food. SEA LIFE’s After Dark events only take place a few times a year and are hugely popular — it’s not hard to see why. 

Dinner in the shard 

Aqua Shard is the ultimate destination restaurant. This is very fine dining, with a British-inspired menu and cocktails that will leave you almost as breathless as the view across London. 

Gifts 

Did you know that Ipad has topped the list of British adults most desired Valentine's day gift? 

The Apple tablet ranked among laptops and the PlayStation 4 as the most-wanted romantic gifts for technologically-minded Britons this Valentine's Day.

The more traditional jewellery and flowers also made an appearance, and although chocolate was the gift most expected to receive, it did not make it into the top five desired gifts.

The iPad was the gift of choice for many last Christmas, with over three quarters of children in the UK asking their parents for a tech present.
