Hotspots for Marriage Proposals in London
London is one of the top spots for romance in Europe, and it’s easy to see why. With a giddy mix of beautiful parklands, ancient buildings and glittering cityscapes, London offers a lot to couples looking for the perfect romantic retreat. With the Montcalm Hotels offering some of the best London hotel deals, it’s no surprise to find couples flocking to the flexible and great value rooms we have on offer.
Searching for a suitable suite with your soulmate is just the start of your romantic London adventure, as there’s plenty more to think about when you arrive. These include travel plans, ticking off your must-see city attractions… and of course, whether you’re going to get engaged or not.
That might have mounted the pressure a little bit, and of course not every couple’s in that “place” yet, but if you are thinking of asking for your loved one’s hand, then there’s no place like London to do it. Below are some of the most iconic spots in the city for marriage proposals, all offering something different. As we all know, no one relationship is the same, and neither is the marriage proposal either!
The Shard
Whether you’re planning on visiting one of the many high-rise fusion restaurants, or you’re simply admiring the view from the 72nd floor, The Shard offers the perfect spot to propose in style. With the 360-degree views of the London skyline, your proposal will be breathtaking in more ways than one. Whatever your intentions, the Shard acts as the Cupids Arrow of London skyscrapers.
Hampstead Heath
If you prefer your proposal settings a little more pastoral, then the idyllic Hampstead Heath is one of the best spots in London for rural romance. With beautiful woodlands, breathtaking city views from Parliament Hill, and wind-swept meadows offering plenty of stages for you and your loved one’s big moment, Hampstead Heath is a perfect spot to usher in a new era.
The Victoria and Albert Museum
The beautiful Design Museum is itself dedicated to the strong relationship between Queen Victoria and her loyal husband, which makes it the perfect place for a proposal. Find an intimate spot amongst the 2 million antiquities or take a knee in the breathtaking courtyard and start your engagement in one of the most romantic museums in the city.
Kensington Gardens
Treat your other half like royalty and try a proposal in the serene Kensington Gardens. With the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as background, the beautiful terraced gardens of Kensington are the perfect spot for a West London engagement.
The London Eye
Based on the South Bank, the London Eye is a truly iconic proposal venue. Rent out a capsule for you and your loved one and spend half an hour marveling at the London cityscape, as well as your future together.
Waterloo Bridge
Create your own Waterloo Sunset with a proposal on Waterloo Bridge. If heights aren’t your thing, then swap the London Eye for one of the most famous bridges in London. Why not round off your trip with a romantic stay at the Brewery London City Hotel, just a short journey from the Waterloo area.
