Most romantic places to walk in London and Glasgow

End up at The Anchor Line Restaurant back at Native’s boutique hotel in Glasgow, where you can enjoy a sumptuous three course Valentine’s banquet of dishes like steamed Shetland mussels, prime Scottish sirloin and decadent peanut butter and chocolate tart. Get in quick, because tables are booking up fast.

Stroll the Serpentine in Hyde Park.

Explore one of the most romantic places in London by taking a leisurely meander around the Serpentine. Start at the exquisite Italian Gardens (be sure to take a selfie or two by the fountains), make your way round to the Peter Pan statue, the Serpentine Gallery and the Princess Diana memorial before stopping at the Serpentine Bar and Kitchen for a coffee to walk with.

End up at Patisserie Mille on Spring Street, just two minutes from your apartment. Treat yourself and your beloved to slice of a classic French Gâteau Mille Crêpes, in flavours like matcha, Valrhona chocolate and Sicilian lemon. Finish the evening with a night’s stay at Native’s hotel near Hyde Park.

Bounce around Borough.

A day around Borough wouldn’t be complete without a visit to its incredible food market (closed on Sundays). Start at Gentlemen Baristas for the best brew in town and wander round the stalls, picking up some delicacies for later. Then head towards the original site of Shakespeare’s Globe and keep walking to reach the rebuilt theatre itself. Stop in at the Tate Community Garden and, after that, just see where the River Thames takes you.

Finish up at Borough Wines to buy a refillable bottle, fill it up with your choice of red, white or rosé and take it back to your Native Bankside apartment for a romantic dinner for two at home.

How to Feel at Home When Travelling

Personalise your space

Bringing a few trinkets with you, such as photographs, electronics, books or home furnishings, can help make your accommodation a little homelier – but they can only go so far, especially with hotel housekeeping reassembling your room every single morning. Luckily, our Native apartments come with a weekly cleaning service to ensure you receive excellent service, but allow more freedom in personalising the space to your taste. And what’s more you can be left in peace to enjoy your city stay!

Reawaken your senses

Memory is closely tied to smell, so packing a few home fragrances, in the form of incense, candles or essential oils, will remind you of home and help you feel settled in your new abode.

Cook a favourite meal

There’s nothing quite like a home-cooked meal to make you feel like you’re back in your own house. With our fully equipped kitchens you can cook whatever you like – whether it’s a family favourite or a personal indulgence – and at any time you like. You’re not forced to adhere to strict mealtimes or stodgy takeaway diets. Hallelujah!

Take a little me-time

One of the best ways to unwind is to pig out on the sofa in front of your favourite boxset, pizza in hand. We hear ya. Trying to replicate that experience in a hotel is never quite the same and can earn you disapproving stares (or worse!) from the front desk, who might catch you sneaking fast food through the foyer. In our apartments your kitchen is your domain and you can eat what you like when you like.

Immersive yourself in local knowledge

One of the most disconcerting things about a foreign city can be, well, its foreignness. In a metropolis as big and bustling as London, it’s easy to get lost or become bogged down in the simplest decision, such as where to grab a bite to eat or settle down for a drink. Our Neighbourhood Guides that are found in our apartments or can point you in the right direction for local hotspots, while our team of Native experts are on hand to help you out with any more complicated questions you may have.
