Looking for something to do this winter? Something that would be much more fun if you were accompanied by the most charming, entertaining, hilarious and modest brunette escort in London? Perhaps some ideas for cold-weather dates with a London escort?

I don’t know about you, but when the weather turns chilly, I like to make sure my calendar is full of cute, cosy activities and interesting dates with good friends… and lovers. A girl’s got to keep warm, after all.

One of the reasons I love being an independent London companion is that there is so much fun to be had in our fabulous city, even in the winter chill. It’s so wonderful to meet a lover for an afternoon activity before warming up someplace a bit more private for the evening…

1. A trip to an art gallery

Okay, you might think this is cheating, as this is my number one suggestion for London escort dates, all seasons, rain or shine — but come on, holding hands while wandering around a gallery is the ultimate London culture date. Our very own National Gallery holds an amazing Impressionist collection (do you know the origin of the collection? Ask me for the story!) — or perhaps you’re a fan of modern art? I love the Tate Modern, and its upstairs Kitchen and Bar has glorious views of St Paul’s for an after-art drink. They do a pretty good themed lunch or dinner, too!

(If you’re feeling adventurous, how about we take this show on the road and do all these things a bit further afield? We could wander through the Uffizi in Florence, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, or any of the galleries in New York…)

2. The theatre

Fine, I cheated again — but going to the theatre makes sense in the winter, when it gets romantically dark so early. From West End musicals to the opera, from the ballet to immersive arthouse shows, I just adore being part of an audience. How about a fun West End musical? Or for something a bit more intimate, the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at the Globe is lit entirely by candles, and it’s so beautiful — and the bars and restaurants of the Southbank or the Shard are perfect for a post-show aperitif. We’ll have plenty to talk about over dinner or late into the night.

3. Drinks in a riverside igloo

I love the pop-up igloos on the Thames — getting all cosy while looking over the beautiful lights of London, sharing a platter of nibbles, or a cheese fondue and a bottle of Champagne in front of the river views before retiring to somewhere more private.

4. Ice skating

I love the ice rinks that adorn London throughout the winter. Come on, we’ll feel like we’re in a movie. I also love an excuse to warm up with a mulled wine — and if that doesn’t work, we’ll need to find another way to warm ourselves up…

5. A weekend getaway

Ok, so this one isn’t technically London-based, but it’s such an excellent winter activity, I couldn’t leave it off the list. Holding hands on countryside walks; snuggling up with a whisky beside a roaring fire; spa days and board games and red wine and plenty of quality time together indoors… so damn cosy.
