After hours Dessert pop-up in Bloomsbury
This is one for all of you that would much rather have a pudding than a starter, in fact they completely skip the starter and main course all together and only serve dessert! Sounds good right? If you just answered yes then Store St Espresso in Bloomsbury might just be the perfect place for you and your date on Valentines day.
“Food will be served from 8pm-11pm. Dessert, coffee & petit fours will cost £10, and a tasting menu of 3 desserts, coffee & petit fours £20. No reservations, except Valentines Day, for which there is a special 3-course dessert tasting menu, plus a glass of sparkling wine, coffee & petit fours for £25, with tickets available here.”

Whisper sweet nothings
If your looking for something romantic to do during the day but don’t want to spend a bomb then why not take a trip to St Paul’s Cathedral and climb up the dome to the Whispering Gallery to try out its unique acoustics. A whisper on one side can be heard clearly 100 feet away on the other side so secretly wiser to your love… Cute way to propose!
