OK, so this is a shameless follow-up from a thread I did the other day. The ins and outs of the situation aren't important, but I am out with a young lady tonight, neither of us can drink, we want to do something interesting (before heading home to hop on the good foot), but not in Central London (Z1/Z2) as we both live there.

She has just got access to a car (Streetcar), and is very keen to drive, so I had hoped that PH may be able to offer some suggestions for activities a little further afield (inside the M25), which don't require all night, but are interesting/fun for a young couple.

Had a busy week at work, or I would have already been all over this one...

stabbing seems popular.

Becoming a real worry.

All "good" suggestions so far (by which I mean useless, apart from dogging). Sadly, working at Canary Wharf means that the O2 loses some of its (admittedly obvious) appeal.

Randomman got there first but Dogging is really all I can think of that fits that description.

Sorry, the only activities I know of in London involve alcohol and ladies of dubious virtue.

Looks like dogging's your only option.

Agreed on pretty much all counts. Social activities are so much easier to plan when alcohol is involved!

Ice Skating and bowling at Queens in Bayswater.

BTW the way there is a very nice and inexpensive French restaurant down by the Thames left side of Kingston Bridge.
