These Are The Best Places In London For A First Date

When it comes to making a good first impression, every advantage helps. From bringing your conversational A-game, to picking an outfit that shows who you are, it’s a lot to juggle. So anything that puts you at an advantage could make the difference in getting you that all important second date (which is when you actually get to know someone).

As the dating app built around getting people to meet in real life, we at The Inner Circle see it as our mission to help in any way we can. The “Who’s Up For” feature (which lets you share a sort of shout-out for date ideas) means we can see which are the most popular, and most successful date venues in London.

And we’re sharing that with you:

3) Wild Heart, at Sanctum Soho Hotel

20 Warwick St, Soho

Opulence and comfort is what you’ll find at this luxurious central soho restaurant and bar. It’s an ideal place to look like a big spender, without actually having to be one.

2) Laki Kane

144-145 Upper St, Islington

This Islington hotspot striked the balance just right between glamour and fun. It’s a date venue that impresses without imposing, so you can enjoy the venue as well as each others company.
