Bruges is a place to wander and to eat: a nice blend of a sweet fairytale city and a genuine and fascinating medieval UNESCO site.
There's actually a lake right in the center called "Minnewater" meaning Lake of Love in old Flemish. Loads of intimate little bistros and top-end restaurants.
A cycle (or walk) along the canals in London will give you a different view of the city, and there are some great places to stop off along the way: start with a coffee in Angel, stop for a stroll around Victoria Park, and end up in Limehouse, from where you can cycle on to Canary Wharf, and even Greenwich, if you want - where you could have a nice lunch.
