5th Floor, 240 Regent Street, Entrance on 30 Argyll Street, W1F 7EB
Aqua Spirit was awarded bar of the year 2010 in London’s lifestyle awards. Check out the singles by the circular bar or, if on a date, relax in the low-lit, cosy Spirit booths. In the summer, sip cocktails or champagne on the large outdoor terrace. Drinks are on the expensive side, which is to be expected in a unique location.

1 Percy Street, W1T 1DB
Tucked away in a Georgian townhouse location Bam-Bou is known among NoHo locals for its cosy atmosphere and colonial decor.
Walk up the quaint stairs, past oriental screens, carved shutters and Buddhas, to the romantic candlelit third floor red bar.

50 Berners Street, W1T 3NG
If you're style and design conscious, the 80-feet long Sanderson Long Bar is the place to sip expensive cocktails and people watch among Philippe Starck designed artefacts. In the summer, impress your date with a booth in the splendid Courtyard. Dress to impress.

329 Fulham Road, SW10 9QL
Maggie's, named after former prime minister Margaret Thatcher, is dedicated to the 80's both in décor, music and clothing. The interiors are decorated with iconic 80's memorabilia from Madonna, Wham, Super Mario Bros, Rubik's cube etc. This is my favourite London club for having a fun and fabulous dance night out with friends or a date.

The Horse Hospital, Chalk Farm Road NW1 8AH
Originally a horse hospital situated in the heart of Camden’s Stables Market, Proud Galleries is one of London’s most unique clubs. Explore the wide range of spaces, including an outdoor terrace, filled with a hip, eclectic, artsy crowd.
I especially recommend this weird and wonderful place for singles who want to meet fun people in a non-meat market atmosphere. Their burlesque cabaret nights are perfect for a cheeky, entertaining girls or lads night out.

45 Ledbury Road, W11 2AA
This fun bar, opulently decorated in the Baroque and Rococo style, is the perfect restaurant in Notting Hill for a first date, or the start of a relationship.
Impress your date with a drink from the extensive wine and champagne list. Further inside Beach Blanket Babylon, you can escape from the crowds and lively music, and enjoy dinner in a cosy alcove.

9 Conduit Street, W1S 2XG
The achingly stylish Sketch Gallery attracts media, artist and fashion crowds. Video art is projected on the surrounding walls and from 22:30 live DJs create a party atmosphere. The service is excellent, as is the menu, which was created by Pierre Gagnaire and Mourad Mazouz.
It's a fun place to WOW a date. Make sure you explore the famous cocoon toilets and the lowered bar.

191 Portobello Road, W11 2ED
For a movie date, nothing beats this cool Notting Hill cinema. If you’re hungry, combine your film with a visit to the popular Electric brasserie in the same building.
In the Electric Cinema, you might want to choose seats according to how well acquainted you are…
First date: A single chair towards the front. Second date: A loveseat in the middle. Third date: A lovesofa in the back – just can case you want to get that first kiss in…

On a warm sunny day, enjoy a champagne picnic on Primrose Hill, overlooking the London skyline. There are also lots of cute little pubs and restaurants nearby. This is a trendy neighbourhood, and famous residents include Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale and Jamie Oliver.
