If you have a big birthday coming up and you want to spoil your significant other with a fancy trip, booking a weekend or night away in London is always a great idea. In fact, as you’re starting to plan your trips and travel adventures for the year ahead, you may want to think about the different special occasions that you have coming up. It’s never too early to start planning for a birthday after all. But if you haven’t been to London before or you’re looking for some ideas to make it extra special, you’ve come to the right place. In this article we’re going to walk through some ideas that will help you to plan a birthday surprise trip in London.
-
Choose where to stay
The first thing on your agenda needs to be where you are going to stay. The good news is that there are so many different hotels across London and its various regions for you to choose from. Whether you want something high-end or something kitsch and cool, you’ll find it in London.
-
Book a restaurant well in advance
Whenever you go to London for the evening or a weekend, it’s very likely that you’re going to want to dine at a beautiful restaurant, particularly seeing as you’re celebrating a special birthday. London is full of so many incredible restaurants, whether you’re looking for a beautiful Michelin-starred restaurant in Covent Garden or something more casual. Either way, you may find that it pays to book well in advance. Because you know that you want to make this special, it’s important to get your reservation in so that you’re not left disappointed and unable to eat where you want to.
-
Plan surprises along the way
Something that can make the experience extra special is to plan some different surprises along the way. Even if you let your significant other know that the trip is in London, you don’t have to tell them everything that you’re doing as the day unfolds. You can plan different activities, such as a cooking class or things to do that can really heighten the experience.
-
Consider private tours
If there’s one thing to know about London is that there are so many sites that you may want to see as well as lots of different attractions too. However, trying to get around and see them all can be quite overwhelming. This is where the idea of taking a tour comes in. However, if you were to join a big group tour it may not feel that special. When you consider doing a private tour it gives you a way of looking at the attractions in more detail and getting the most out of the experience.
-
Create an itinerary
To really finish your planning off with a bow wrapped around everything, you could also look at creating an itinerary. Of course, you will have planned everything out but having that piece of paper that shows your significant other what you’re doing or where they’re going can be a lot of fun. It could be a ticket-style piece of card with the destination or a full itinerary. Either way, it can make the experience extra special.
