Following our list of the best outdoor places to go for a date in east London, we’re now heading south of the river to give you more new things to do to liven up your dating life. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or a film geek, the list below is full of fun outdoor date ideas for you to try in south London this summer!

Watch a flick at Rooftop Film Club Peckham

Cinemas may not be the most exciting places to go for a date but how about watching a movie as the sun sets before your eyes? Well, Rooftop Film Club Peckham delivers just that (weather dependent, of course). Based on top of the Bussey Building, this outdoor cinema offers classic movies, stonebaked pizzas, a well-stocked bar and insane views of the city. This summer, Rooftop Film Club Peckham is showing romantic flicks such as Love & Basketball and Pride & Prejudice, as well as less lovey dovey films including Sinners, Do The Right Thing and Set If Off.

Show your adventurous side with a climb Up At The O2

If you’re looking for a fun-filled date then look no further than Up At The O2 – the invigorating activity that lets you climb London’s iconic O2 building in Greenwich and take in 360-degree views of the city. Bae may make your heart skip a beat but the steep climb to the top is one that’ll definitely get your heart pumping properly again. On the surface, this physical activity might not sound like the cosiest idea but just imagine the pictures of you and your special person with a skyline as the backdrop. Plus, once you’ve descended to the bottom you can always continue your date night inside by grabbing a bite to eat or a drink in the O2.

Spark some friendly competition at Greenwich Peninsula Driving Range

Golf with a view? Why not! At the Greenwich Peninsula Driving Range, you can take a swing while looking at the London skyline at the same time. The range comes complete with 60 bays, all with interactive multiplayer games that will heat up the competition between you and your date. Food and drink can be served to your bay, allowing you to stay focused on your game. If crazy golf is more your thing, the venue is also home to an outdoor 18-hole adventure golf course that also makes for a fun date.

Go with the flow at Battersea Park by boat

With over 150 shops, bars, restaurants and leisure and entertainment venues, Battersea Power Station serves as the perfect date spot but if you venture two minutes down the road, you’ll find another gem in the form of Battersea Park. Covering 200 acres, the park is one of the capital’s biggest and most popular parks and you can explore it by boat. The park offers rowing and pedal boats to hire where you can go around the lake’s central island. You can also take your own food on board – perfect if you’d like a peaceful picnic on the water.

Get lost in the moment in The Maze at Crystal Palace Park

Why bother going to an escape room when you can search high and low for a way out at The Maze in Crystal Palace Park? Made up of tall hedges and a network of pathways, this free maze covers a diameter of 49 metres and has been baffling park-goers since it was established in the 1870s. Unlike all the ideas above which are wholesome and romantic, The Maze is a make or break date idea because it’ll either force you and your person to come together to solve a puzzle, or leave you both feeling frustrated when you keep getting lost. Either way, you’ll get a good story out of it, right?
