Apart from being a must-visit park, Crystal Palace has so much more to do than just wander around.

One of our favourite reasons to visit Crystal Palace is to view their awesome collection of dinosaur statues. The models are located within the jungle-like gardens and lakes which are perfect for a London walk with a difference.

As well as the dinosaurs, Crystal Palace Park also has a lovely cafe and bar with indoor and outdoor seating for a cute lunch, a beach volleyball pitch and electric car racing for you to watch. There is also a food market on every Sunday from 10am - 4pm and music events every so often.

From bank museums, to another very cultured date idea in London - art galleries.

You won't believe how many of London's art galleries are free of charge to enter - there's a whole host of free art for you to browse, and it's a brilliant way to spend the day together - and you can keep up to date with what's on at the Galleries Now website.

Some of London's free art galleries include both Tate Britain and Tate Modern, the Photographer's Gallery, the National Portrait Gallery and more. Many galleries and museums will offer free entry to most of their displays, and charge entry for a few exhibitions that are more exclusive, so you always have the choice to upgrade.

No, we're not joking. In London you can now play a game of giant monopoly with real-life character figurines leading you around the enormous board. You and your partner will play against other teams, completing challenges and purchase decisions using your Monopoly money.

If you love a group shindig, turn this into a couples date idea and get other lovebirds involved to create a complete team.

One of our hosts Alando tried it recently and he said he couldn’t remember the last time he had this much fun. “It was such a surreal and unique experience; it completely took all of the awkwardness out of the first date and we had so much to talk about afterwards. Would recommend on a first date or any date for that matter!”

Speaking of cinemas and shows, if you're after fun date ideas in London, it's well worth considering a visit to Wilton's Music Hall. The history of this music hall dates back to the 1690s.

The initial aim of opening Wilton's was to provide West End glamour and brilliant entertainment to the working people in the East End, and it's still providing top-tier entertainment today!

From drag performances of Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho to renditions of The Merchant Venice 1936, the breadth of entertainment here is vast.

Our host Kacie adds, "I had a lovely two year anniversary date night here watching a screening of one of my favourite Charlie Chaplin films.

"There are not many places in London which celebrate period shows and entertainment the way that Wilton's does, and the bar and restaurant downstairs means you can spend hours here pre-empting what you're about to see, or discussing the show afterwards with a glass of wine and a snack. Ideal."

Now if you search dating events London it’s likely True Da ting will come up (we are the best don’t you know) but we are always looking to spice up the dating events scene with unique events. Axe throwing believe it or not has become the latest dating craze in London and in the middle of Oxford Circus, you’ll find this seriously high-octane activity for you and your beloved to try in the form of Whistlepunks axe-throwing studio - it’s safer than it sounds, we swear!

As a duo, you’ll likely be paired with other guests, but after a few practises your session is played tournament style, so it’s all part of the fun.

But if you do want something more private for your fun London date, there are options to hire an exclusive lane for just you two, although you can have up to 10 people in your lane so quintuple dates are totally doable.
