The festive celebrations are over. January 2023 is upon us!

Why not forget about the grim weather and focus on a year of new opportunities for good times?

London is a wonderful place to date during any season. We have put together our top five London date ideas to beat the January blues!

Exclusive Dining at Kanishka

Kanishka, Mayfair

Enjoy classic cuisine from across India with a contemporary twist. This chic Mayfair restaurant is led by Michelin star chef, Atul Kochhar. Vibrant dishes are offered, celebrating the diversity of this mesmerising land.

Sommeliers are at hand to recommend by-the-glass wine and whiskey pairings for every dish, making Kanishka a truly indulgent experience.

There are excellent vegetarian and vegan choices, alongside an a la carte menu, grazing menu, taster menu and lunch menu.

We particularly love the Grazing Feast, which includes these fabulous dishes, among many others:

• Angoori Aloo (potatoes and grapes)
• Kaddu Aur Khumbi (yellow pumpkin and mushrooms with erissery seasoning)
• Baigan Aur Saeb Ki Subji (aubergine and apple curry)
• Panch phoran (yellow dal)

For a truly memorable date night, enjoy a Bollywood Dinner with a Bangra Twist (every last Sunday of the month).

Rom-Com at the Harold Pinter Theatre, Leicester Square

Sounds incredulous?

Well, it seems we are living in a time where anything could happen!

Jenna Coleman and Aidan Turner are perfectly cast in this short, quirky, romantic play.

We highly recommend this piece of theatre for a sweet, thought-provoking date night.
