Quick Summary: One of the world's most visited cities, London seamlessly combines 21st-century modernity with old-world charm and beauty and has something for everyone from a rich history stretching back to Roman times, grand architecture, world-class dining, and entertainment and magnificent old parks. When it comes to celebrating love, there are a plethora of romantic restaurants in London, but some stand out a bit more than others, if not for their soft candlelit ambiance and cozy, welcoming atmosphere, then for the elegant décor, superb cuisine, world-class wines, and outstanding service.
