Enjoy a Romantic Break in the Heart of London

There are many factors of London life which draw visitors from around the world. For many it is all about the culture on offer, from opera and ballet to some of the best art galleries ain the world and theatrical presentations ranging from traditional musicals in the West End to innovative drama on the South Bank. People with children, in particular, flock to London as a place which offers education as well as fun and entertainment, and creates memories which will stay with them for the rest of their lives and draw them back when they have children of their own.

For some though, London makes the ideal destination to get away from all of the concerns of everyday life for a couple of nights and reconnect with the person the closest to them. Perhaps you could opt to leave the kids behind for once, staying with the grandparents, while you enjoy a romantic weekend away. Although London is crowded, busy and often hectic and noisy, it is still full of the kind of quiet tranquil places that make the perfect venue for a more romantic getaway. First and foremost there are those quiet corners of greenery scattered about the city – parks and gardens which offer a chance to stroll hand in hand away from the noise and bustle and canal paths where you can walk and stop at a little waterside café, perhaps even taking a slow, relaxed trip on a canal boat as the sun begins to go down.

The good news is that there are also plenty of romantic hotels in London, so every aspect of your trip can play a part towards fostering that magical feeling of togetherness. For a romantic break to truly hit the spot, you ideally want to stay in a smaller, boutique style hotel, where the atmosphere is more personal than in a hotel that is part of a larger more corporate chain. The Park Grand Hyde Park is just such a hotel, and if you visit www.parkgrandhydepark.co.uk then you’ll be able to see precisely the kind of ambience the hotel sets about creating. 

The rooms are luxuriously appointed and come complete with all of the most modern amenities, including en suite bathrooms, plasma screen TV and complimentary WIFI, whilst the hotel offers an intimate atrium in which you can share a drink at the end of the day, and a delicious buffet style breakfast to enjoy first thing in the morning, either full English or continental, either one of which is perfect to set you up for the rest of the day ahead.

The hotel is situated just around the corner from Paddington station, within easy reach of Hyde Park, Portobello Road market, Notting Hill and the oasis known as Little Venice. This is a waterside area formed where the Grand Union canal meets Regents canal, and is home to a plethora of bars and waterside cafes which form the perfect backdrop for a romantic meal for two or just a few drinks towards the end of a balmy summer’s day.
