Six Romantic Locations to Propose
1. London's Most Romantic Restaurant
Nestled under a canopy of flowers and twinkling fairy lights, Clos Maggiore has won several romantic restaurant awards—named ‘The Most Romantic Restaurant in the World’ in 2016 by Architectural Digest.
Surrounded by the cobbled streets of London's Covent Garden, this would be the perfect proposal spot for a real foodie. Settle in and enjoy the evening with your fiancé-to-be as you make your way through the delicious menu, gazing at the beautiful décor.
2. A Boat Ride in Richmond
There’s nothing quite like a romantic boat trip on the River Thames in London. If this sounds like your kind of proposal, then why not put together a picnic, brush up on your rowing skills, and head over to Richmond? Here, you can pop the question while floating down the river in this beautiful suburb—lined with trees and parks, you'll forget you're only a short train ride from urban life.
3. Fly High in a Hot Air Balloon in Sussex
If you’re looking for a truly unique proposal location that’s guaranteed to be remembered for life, why not get on one knee while you’re 1000m above the ground?
Soar over the Sussex countryside and outskirts of London as you float through the sky in a hot-air balloon. Imagine getting ready to propose as you drift over the picturesque rolling hills of Sussex, catching glimpses of London’s skyline in the background.
4. A Romantic Log Cabin in New Forest
What could be more romantic than being tucked away in the forest with a roaring fire and a hot tub ready to slip into on the balcony? The New Forest in Hampshire is one of the best proposal spots if you’re looking for a cosy, wintery feel.
This idyllic setting is perfect for those looking for a momentary pause from the business of life to enjoy some time alone.
Listen to the leaves rustling and the fire crackling as you prepare to ask that all-important question.
5. Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh
Head up North for a historic proposal in one of the UK's most beautiful cities. Edinburgh is bursting with culture and the perfect spot for a proposal at the castle with views across the whole of the city. Timing it just as the sun starts to set will cast romantic long shadows across the cobbles and make the moment extra special.
6. A Sky-High Proposal at The Shard
With exquisite views of London, particularly at sunset, The Shard is the ultimate location for a sky-high proposal.
Top the night off by booking a room at the Shangri-La Hotel. This iconic venue boasts panoramic skyline views from four restaurants and bars, as well as the highest infinity pool in London.
