London for honeymoons and couples: a practical guide with 2026 prices

From the people who meet you in arrivals. Prices checked October 2026.

Arrive in style

Executive car or Mercedes V-Class from the airport with a bottle of water and the bags handled; sunset Thames walk from the Tower to Westminster on the first evening; a driver for a day to Windsor and the Cotswolds. Rooms with a view: Shangri-La The Shard, the Savoy, the Ned, Claridge’s, or a Georgian townhouse hotel in Marylebone from about £250.

Romantic London, with prices

Afternoon tea at the Ritz (£85) or Fortnum’s (from £75); dinner at Sketch, Clos Maggiore (Covent Garden’s prettiest room) or a Thames dinner cruise (from about £90); the London Eye at dusk (from £29) or Sky Garden (free); a West End show; a picnic in Regent’s Park rose garden; the Serpentine boats. Hampton Court and Kew are an easy half-day by car.

Out of town

The Cotswolds (Bibury, Castle Combe), Bath, Oxford and Brighton make a perfect day each; we quote a fixed day fare with the driver waiting, so you are not watching train times.
