Valentine’s Day no longer belongs to one idea of romance. In London, it has become an open invitation to celebrate love in all its forms, partners, friends, chosen family and yourself included. From indulgent gifting to intimate dining and restorative escapes, here is a considered edit of how the capital is marking the season of love in twenty twenty six.

Chocolate dipped declarations at Cocomelt

Few gestures land quite like chocolate, and Cocomelt understands that instinct perfectly. London’s favourite premium chocolate café is offering Valentine’s strawberry boxes designed for sharing and savouring. Fresh, juicy strawberries are generously coated in Cocomelt’s signature Belgian milk and blush pink chocolate, presented beautifully and ready to impress.

They are made for cosy date nights, Galentine’s gatherings or a quiet moment of indulgence at home. Simple, luxurious and unapologetically romantic, these boxes say everything without needing a card.

An Italian love story at Casa Felicia

For those craving atmosphere as much as flavour, Casa Felicia offers a Valentine’s escape inspired by the streets of Naples. Its Valentine’s Day set menu invites couples to slow down and indulge, with dishes that celebrate Southern Italian cooking at its most expressive.

Highlights include oysters dressed with Amalfi lemon oil and chilli, tuna crudo with geranium and Tabasco, and raviolone filled with ricotta, nettles and saffron. Flowing wine pairings, spicy margaritas and indulgent desserts complete the experience.

For something more private, Casa Felicia’s Red Room provides an intimate setting for four to ten guests. Hidden away and richly atmospheric, it is ideal for a Galentine’s evening that feels personal and memorable.

A refined Thai celebration at Thai Square

Marking thirty years of shared flavours, Thai Square is celebrating Valentine’s Day with an elegant four course set menu designed for couples. The experience balances comfort and creativity, beginning with shared starters and aromatic coconut soup before moving into bold mains such as Drunken Roasted Duck, Caramel Chicken or Jubilee Lamb Shank.

The meal finishes lightly with Coconut Jasmine Sorbet, offering a thoughtful close to an evening built around connection and generosity. It is a romantic dining experience that feels warm, expressive and quietly celebratory.

Matcha moments with How Matcha!

For those who prefer their romance served in a cup, How Matcha! is introducing two Valentine’s specials across its Marylebone and Notting Hill locations. Available from February thirteenth to fifteenth, these limited drinks are playful, indulgent and beautifully crafted.

The Lov ender Spell combines ube powder, lavender syrup, matcha and milk, finished with lavender and rose petals. The Matcha and Chill offers a cooler take, blending raspberry and mint infused coconut milk with matcha and white chocolate cold foam, topped with freeze dried raspberry. Thoughtful treats for sharing or solo sipping.

A gift with a kick from Kicking Goat Cider

For those who prefer a bottle over a bouquet, Kicking Goat Cider offers a Valentine’s gift that feels both thoughtful and easy. Made from one hundred percent fresh pressed British apples sourced from Somerset and Kent, the award winning range includes Fresh Berry, Medium, Medium Dry and Dry styles.

Available in curated gift packs, it is a relaxed yet considered way to toast love, whether that means a quiet night in or a shared moment with friends.

Switch off together at Thai Square Spa

For a Valentine’s experience that goes deeper than dinner, offers a restorative alternative. Couples can choose from a range of treatments including Couple Indulgence, Couples Divine Getaway or the Thai Square Royal Couple, each designed to encourage calm, connection and escape.

Guests are welcomed with a complimentary bottle of non alcoholic prosecco rosé, setting the tone for an experience that feels indulgent without excess. In the heart of London, the spa offers an authentic Thai sanctuary for those who want to slow down together.

Whether you are celebrating romance, friendship or simply taking time for yourself, this Valentine’s Day in London offers something for every mood. From chocolate dipped strawberries to quiet spa moments, the city proves once again that love does not need to follow one script.

Sometimes, the most meaningful celebrations are the ones you choose for yourself.
