With the summer just around the corner, there are lots of activities to cool you down in the city of London! We know you may be hot under the collar looking for love but as London’s leading speed dating hosts, Dateinadash have some great ideas on how to keep your cool this summer while on a hot date!

Love the Thames? Are you an adrenalin junky? If yes, why not take your date on an exhilarating high-speed boat trip up the River Thames? Riding in rigid inflatable boats (RIB’s) means you can enjoy a fun trip up the river James Bond style. Envisage the breeze in your hair and a gorgeous pair of sunglasses to really get you in the mood for love and you’ll have the perfect scenario!

Fasten yourself in- you’ll be safe in the hands of the boat guide. Enjoy being able to sit back, relax and enjoy the ultra cool speed boat ride while the sun continues to shine.

If you’d rather try something a little less full on, why not go old-school? Turn back the time by grabbing your date an ice cold ice cream in the city for the ultimate in keeping cool in the summer sun! Why not inject some childish fun by relishing in the delight of a tasty ice cream to truly cool you down this summer?

Of course, if you don’t want to visit an ice cream van, not to worry. In London there’s bucket loads of gorgeous eateries where you can treat your luscious date to an array of scrummy ice creams or sorbets, just take your pick. There are plenty of choose from!

Never been ice skating? Now’s the time to try it out! Head to Queen’s London Ice skating and bowling arena where you can show off what you’re made of. See how well you get on doing some skating routines and if nothing else, have oodles of fun, fun, fun!

If you’re any good, maybe you’ll be a contestant on Dancing on Ice and get the chance to meet the ice god and goddess themselves, Torvill and Dean. Of course, you could be more like Bambi on ice but panic not! This fantastic London venue offers classes to turn you and your date into a pro!

All sounds like too much effort? We hear you! Nothing quite hits the spot like an ice cold drink in the summer sun. What better way to cool down with your gorgeous date then taking them to the UK’s only permanent bar made of ice, the Absolut IceBar in the city of London? It really is as cool as it sounds...

Kept at a cool -5 degrees all year through this venue is certainly chilled by name, chilled by nature! Everything in this funky venue is made of Torne River ice harvested from the pristine winter wonderland of Northern Sweden. And when we say everything, we mean it!

Tables and chairs, walls, and even the cocktail glasses- this venue offers everyone a cold sensory experience throughout the year where the ice theme interior is updated every year. Every year a completely transformed design theme and layout is beautifully created by a group of skilled ice sculptors and designers. If you think you’ll be a little chilly, don’t fret! You’ll will be given a designer thermal cape with a hood and gloves to keep you warm during your visit.

So, wherever you choose to take your date this summer, remember to keep cool in the summer sun for the best results. Don’t forget to stay hydrated and the sun tan lotion to protect your skin. But above all else, don’t forget to have fun!
