Kettners
Kettners has an extensive champagne list in London
including many from small family growers who make small quantities
of extraordinary champagne.

all occasions. Kettner's is situated in the heart of theatre land
and the Set Menu is the perfect choice at lunch and for pre and
post theatre dining. Live music from Tuesday to Saturday on a
beautiful white grand piano sets the evening ambience.
Champagne priced from £9.25 for a glass of Baron de Marck
(bottle £48)
Thames
Clipper
Ok, bear with us on this one! It's part of the longest
river in England, it has 45 locks, is home to over 25 species of
fish, boasts three areas of outstanding natural beauty and it's the
only river in Europe to have a national trail follow its entire
length. This is the rural River Thames.
Jump on board a Thames Clipper, (An adult river roamer
ticket costs £12.60) and set sail (of sorts) along the Thames. An
original dating idea, why not do the Tate to Tate boat trip or
saunter on from Central to Greenwich. Whatever trip you decide to
partake in why not enjoy a half bottle of brand champagne from the
bar for approx £18.00. Incorporate a glass of bubbly with some of
London's finest views, what more could you ask for?
