I will be in London (first time to Great Britain) and have tickets to the ceremony of the keys at the Tower on February 14th (Valentine's Day). My significant other is sure that after getting the tickets for the "Keys" I will come through with a very romantic place for her to show off her special outfit and share a romantic candlelight dinner and then walk over to the Tower. Can anyone make a recommendation for that special place within walking distance.
Romantic Resturant near the Tower of London

OK -- just one teensy 'issue'. Hope she doesn't plan on wearing a special outfit like a dress, heels, pretty cover up.
That ain't going to hackit for the Keys Ceremony. You will need comfortable/sturdy shoes, and warm possibly waterproof clothing. This is at night along the river and even on a nice day can be freezing cold. Plus you will be walking/standing on cobblestones (nearly 45 minutes total) - heels are not really doable.
maybe agree to have your lovely dinner/special outfit the night before or the night after . . . .
Drinks at the OXO Tower across the river . . . go googling to find out the bar's schedule if Janis doesn't know it off the top of her head.
Yep, it will be cold, maybe wet, and late. You have to get there early enough too.
Since it's Valentine's Day, why not do a special lunch that day? Any of the top restaurants will probably have offerings but act now for reservations. Try toptable.co.uk
Something really romantic might be Afternoon Tea someplace special. Maybe The Dorchester?
