The Helicopter Flight

A private helicopter from London Heliport takes you 1,500 feet above the city at golden hour, Tower Bridge, the Shard, Hyde Park, and the Thames all visible simultaneously. The proposal happens at the moment the city looks most spectacular from the air.

The Kew Gardens Glasshouse

A private after-hours proposal in the Kew Gardens Palm House, inside the great Victorian glasshouse with tropical plants surrounding you and the building's iron arches overhead, is a genuinely otherworldly experience.

The Covent Garden Flashmob

A professionally choreographed flashmob in Covent Garden Piazza, building from a single performer to a full company of dancers and musicians, with the proposal at the climax, is the most theatrically ambitious proposal option London offers.
