Bored of pizzas, bars and cinemas? The same old places to go on dates in London? Then why not try something new and exciting: romantic cycling.

A romantic city break doesn’t have to break the bank. There’s a beautiful capital on your doorstep, and you can ride around it for free. It’s easy to forget it when you’re wrestling your way through a crowd of commuters, but London is the perfect backdrop for a romantic day out – with its winding streets, stunning architecture and breathtaking riverscapes that really come alive on a bike.

We've devised a special romantic cycling route, which can be viewed here.

The route is designed to be cycled anti-clockwise. A good time to go would be on a Sunday morning, when it is nice and quiet. (Then reward yourselves afterwards with a Sunday lunch!)
