Thinking about popping the question but are unsure of how to do so in the most romantic setting you can? Whether it’s beautiful sceneries you want, romantic, cosy and private locations or even a venue that will do everything for you; we have made a definitive list of London’s best places to ask that special question and hopefully get the answer you’re hoping for. 




The Leopard Bar

For an unbelievably elegant backdrop to your engagement snaps, say I do to the Leopard Room. A private bar and restaurant opposite the Royal Mews of Buckingham Palace, it's got plenty of wow factor before you even walk in the door. 

There's all kinds on offer to set the mood, from canapes and champagne to fine dining and live entertainment. With room for 20 seated or 40 on their feet, you can share you special moment with all of your nearest and dearest or a more chosen few.

The Milestone Hotel and Residences

Afternoon Tea Week Offer and 1 other offer

Directly opposite Kensington Palace, Cheneston's restaurant at The Milestone Hotel adds sophisticated sparkle to your special occasion. Serving up salmon from London's oldest smokery and prime cuts of meat on silver trolleys, every dish is as carefully considered as your decision to pop the question.

Calm your nerves with a glass of fizz on arrival or fuel up for the big moment with hearty homemade dishes like buckwheat linguine, smoked duck breast and dry aged sirloin steak.

The Egerton House Hotel

The elegant dining rooms of The Egerton House Hotel make for a beautiful backdrop for your big moment. With so much on offer here, the hardest part is knowing when to pop the question. 

You could set the mood with an indulgent afternoon tea, get down on one knee over a martini-paired lunch or wait for the evening to propose with fine dining and champagne. With rings on fingers and smiles on faces, you can cap off the night with a signature cocktail or head upstairs to stay in a seriously stylish room.
