How to do a London date night at home

My husband loves London but we can t get there at the moment. I was hoping to do a London themed date night in our home. But I am lacking inspiration. How can I bring London to our living room? 

All ideas appreciated :)

 London is great for theatre and eating out.

You will have to simulate it with a good meal and a film on TV!

The food can be any theme (there is world cuisine in London). Some people dress up to go to the theatre (but most don't).


No idea what a 'London date night' is supposed to be? Not to mention, how you can recreate this in your own home? Serve any food you want (you can get anything in London). Charge about three times the going price for it. Do so while speaking English with an Eastern European accent. On your way home walk past a few homeless people and fight your way through a hen night party or two, then discover that the Tube is not running due to a signalling failure at Green Park and take an overpriced minicab instead. Get home tired and mildly annoyed and fall asleep in front of late night telly.

For the true "London experience".

He should go out to the pub on his own and get blind drunk; then he gets home at 3 in the morning; tries to have sex with you - then you both have a massive row; resulting in one or both of you getting injured.

Pretty typical night in for most Londoners.


Don't brush your teeth for a week, serve crappy food (fish and chips or bangers and mash would be good), call him "Guvnah!" a lot and all through dinner ask him questions like "Tally ho old sport! I say, isn’t this some ghastly weather we’re having, what?” and say “Alright me old geyser?" in a Cockney accent.
