Classic Wintertime Activities
Embrace dating in the wintertime with activities such as outdoor ice skating, tobogganing and snowshoeing. All three of these activities are generally free to do and allow you to spend quality one-on-one time with your date. These activities are also fun, exciting and bring out a person’s playful side. There are a number of outdoor skating rinks in London including Victoria Park Skating Rink, Storybook Gardens Stake Trail and Covent Garden Market Skating Rink. The best tubing and sledding spots in London include Boler Mountain, Doldge Park and Delaware Hill. Remember to look up hill conditions prior to tobogganing and practice proper sledding safety. Victoria Park Skating Rink is less than a 20-minute transit ride from Hazelview’s 560 Proudfoot Lane Community.
Local Public Events
During the winter season the City of London runs a number of fun public events. Why not pick one of these events and attend with your date? Most of the events are free or require a very small fee. If you are a Western University student or just want to catch an exciting game, the Mustangs Men’s Rock the Rink event is taking place on January 10th and offers an afternoon of entertainment.
Café Time
Going out for a coffee or a casual bite to eat is a great affordable date option. There are a number of fantastic cafés in London including Fire Roasted Coffee Company, Aroma Café, Black Walnut Bakery Café, the Roastery and Williams Fresh Café.
