5 Romantic Ways to Propose in London
Propose in London with these unique ways of turning a boring London proposal into something a LOT more special
A London Eye Marriage proposal idea
A boring London Proposal idea: Going up in the London Eye and dropping on one knee at the top
The Ultimate way to Propose in London on the London Eye: You walk into a London Eye pod with all of the other ‘tourists’ who are keen to see the sights of London. Little does your other half know, these tourists are actually a flashmob of singers, hired by you to make the proposal moment even more spectacular. As you near the top of the London Eye, your singers start to serenade you and then reveal a huge WILL YOU MARRY ME sign. Wow. Now that’s how to propose in London!
A Royal Family Proposal Idea
A boring Royal Proposal idea: You head to Buckingham Palace and (if you can find a quiet spot due to all the crowds!) you ask her to be your wife. Sure, there’s a Palace in the background and the Queen might be near but this idea is a bit……bleugh.

The treasure hunt will take you all around London, to the most iconic London tourist spots, and the clues can even be subtly personalised to you!

Your clues eventually lead you to the infamous Big Ben where the final challenge is to get a stranger to take a photo of you both with Big Ben in the background. As they snap away, your partner has no idea that behind them, The One Romance team and revealing a huge WILL YOU MARRY ME sign. Now, that;s one tourist photo that no one else has!
