Hyde Park, London

Hyde Park is the perfect place to pop the question. This beautiful grade II listed park has 142 hectares of natural space, with so many different parts for you to choose from. The gorgeous Italian Water Gardens makes for an exquisite engagement backdrop - glorious greenery and flourishing fountains, makes the ideal spot for bending down on one knee. Whether you go to Hyde Park to walk the dogs everyday, or you're in London for a weekend break or shopping trip, a diamond engagement ring will make that particular trip a memorable one.

Botanical Gardens, Edgbaston,  Birmingham

Birmingham's Botanical Gardens is a wonderland of nature and beauty, in the heart of Birmingham. First designed in 1829 by leading Garden Planner and horticultural journalist J. C Loudon, the Botanical Gardens in Birmingham features four glasshouses; Subtropical, Tropical, Mediterranean and Arid. This divine place of natural beauty is unsurpassable when it comes to proposing in Birmingham.

Manchester Cathedral

Manchester Cathedral offers a beautiful backdrop for that once in a lifetime proposal. Manchester Cathedral (also known as the Cathedral and Collegiate Church of St Mary, St Denys and St George) has a long and complex history within Manchester, with much of the Cathedral being damaged during WW2 and the 1990's IRA attacks. However, this gothic building stands tall in the heart of Manchester. What better place to show your partner your indestructible and everlasting life than in the flourishing Cathedral Gardens, in front of this resilient building?

In a Hot Air Balloon above the Cotswolds

The Cotswolds is a glorious place to propose - especially if you and your beau love the rolling countryside. The Cotswolds is such an expansive stretch of land - you could choose to get down on one knee South Central England near the upper Thames, or further towards Birmingham, on Evesham Vale or Warwickshire. To make the proposal extra special, why not hire a hot air balloon and sail through the sky before you ask for your lover's hand in marriage? This private adventure will be an experience like no other.

Cloud 23, Deansgate Tower,  Manchester

Whilst a proposal at Cloud 23 Manchester may be a regular affair, it is easy to see why. Located at the highest point in Manchester, this Champagne and Cocktail bar offers breathtaking panoramic sky views of Manchester city. You can find Cloud 23 in the Deansgate Tower, but don't hide the diamond engagement ring in the Champagne though...

Floral Pop-up Swings in Covent Garden, London

London is full of wonderful surprises, and the floral pop-up swings in Covent Garden were no exception. On Valentine's Day for the past two years, Covent Garden has been transformed into Cupid's coven. Covent Garden is renowned for being floral fatherland, and Valentine's Day echoes this. Covent Garden's cherished swing and much loved selfie spot was adorned with a flourish of pink and red roses, making it one of the most romantic places to pop the question. As the swing is only there for a fleeting moment, a proposal at #CoventGardenCupid will be truly special!
