A Valentine’s Staycation Itinerary in Kingston

Morning – Riverside walk & relaxed breakfast

Late morning – Explore Kingston town & shopping 

  • Wander into Kingston town centre. Browse local shops, pick up Valentine’s gifts (flowers, chocolates), or simply enjoy the town’s atmosphere. The mix of riverside ambience and a bustling town-centre is ideal for meandering and spontaneous discovery. 

Lunch – Riverside or cosy town-centre dining 

  • For lunch, you could choose a riverside café or head back to Thecha Restaurant if you prefer staying in-house. Kingston offers a range of restaurants for different moods, from casual to intimate.

  • Alternatively, keep things relaxed – return to your room at Crowne Plaza and truly relax and unwind together with a bottle of Prosecco.

Evening – Romantic dinner at Thecha Restaurant

  • For dinner, book a table at Thecha Restaurant – the vibrant dining destination inside Crowne Plaza London – Kingston that serves bold, authentic Maharashtrian cuisine and Mumbai wok dishes.

Optional Next Day – Extend Your Staycation 

  • If you stay overnight (or longer), begin the next day slowly. Maybe enjoy a relaxed breakfast at Thecha Restaurant, then explore more of Kingston – shops, riverside paths, local culture, or simply enjoy a slow morning before check-out.

  • Take advantage of flexible cancellation – free cancellation up to 4pm on the day before arrival makes planning stress-free.
  • Stay central & convenient – Crowne Plaza’s excellent location means you avoid long commutes, allowing more time to enjoy your staycation.
