Whether you live or work in London – This year the 14th Feb falls on a Tuesday, meaning that the ideal after-work Valentine’s plan requires something local but yet escaping the mayhem and bustle of the city. What could be better than than a spa evening next to the calm waters of the River Thames, a couples massage, followed by dinner and cocktails overlooking the water?

Do something that extra bit special this Valentines day… The Crowne Plaza London Battersea which is next to Battersea heliport, have a romantic package completely tailored for couples wanting to spend time relaxing together. The package includes full access to the Spa Verta London and gym facilities, a 55 minute couples full body massage and a 2 Course Valentines Sharing Plate & Cocktail in the Pad Restaurant & Bar watching the helicopters land and take off.

Available to book between the 11th – 19th February 2017.

With just 2 weeks to go until Valentine’s Day 2013, we are  wondering what to wear and so we asked our founder Anna to give us her suggestions  – whether you are spending the evening with a partner, family, or friends. ROMANTIC DINNER

If your guy has planned a dinner somewhere, you’ll need a dress which is comfortable to sit in, focuses on the top half (since that is what he’ll see all evening) and that doesn’t crease. I usually like to go for a sleeved dress for restaurants as it can be chilly. Otherwise take a shawl which can also be useful to place over your legs should your skirt be on the short side when you sit.

I would wear one of these:

DINNER PARTY AT HOME

A fun thing to do on the 14th is gather together some friends, single and couples for a dinner party. Many couples don’t like the idea of a candlelit restaurant on this one day of the year, filled with other cheesy couples – so hosting a relaxed and fun evening gives everyone a fun alternative. If you are cooking then you’ll need a dress that is not too short (otherwise wear tights) and that is easy to move in. Remember to wear an apron until you sit down to eat – but wow your guests through dinner with a special number.

COCKTAILS WITH FRIENDS

If you are single and can’t wait to party the night away with the eligable men in town, you’ll need a striking dress which will make you stand out. Lets face it, competition is high on this night. Remember that not all men understand some high fashion trends so don’t scare them off with something unflattering (save those for the girls) With men, classic and demure sexy is best.

CINEMA AND DRINKS WITH YOUR MAN

Chances are that catching a movie with your partner is high on the Valentine’s date suggestions list. It can get cold in the  cinema so take a jumper / shawl. If you are grabbing a bite to eat or a cocktail afterwards, then go for something which doesn’t crease after you’ve been sitting all evening. This is your chance to wow… as you have been sitting in the dark so far.
