Mother’s Day is the perfect time to make your mum feel extra special and London is the perfect place to do it.
The capital has so much to offer, so whether your mum’s up for some sightseeing, a bit of nightlife (keeping it classy, of course), or just chilling out, there are plenty of opportunities in London to give her the Best Mother’s Day ever.
For the Sightseer Mum: Tourist Treats
Kickstart the day with a luxurious breakfast at The Goring Hotel – because good food sets the tone for an awesome day, right? Then, check out Buckingham Palace for the classic Changing of the Guard spectacle.
After that, take a laid-back stroll through St. James’s Park – perfect for some mum and child ‘catch up’ time. Now, let’s absorb some history at Westminster Abbey.
Wrap it up with a chilled out Thames River Cruise. The views of the Tower Bridge and the Shard are brilliant from the water and a perfect photo opportunity!
Other Suggestions:
- Visit The Breakfast Club in Soho for a quirky and delicious breakfast before your big day out.
- Explore the Royal Mews near Buckingham Palace for a peek at the Queen’s swanky carriages.
- If your mum is a history buff, check out the Churchill War Rooms for a deep dive into wartime Britain.
- Dive into the vibrant street art scene in Shoreditch for a unique and colourful experience.
For the Nightlife-Loving Mum: Classy Evenings
Start the evening with a cheeky cocktail at The American Bar at The Savoy. The live piano can set a ‘fancy’ tone without going too overboard.
Then, it’s off to The Ledbury in Notting Hill for a Michelin-starred dinner. Trust me, the food is AMAZING.
End the night with a West End show – something classic like “Les Misérables” or “Phantom of the Opera.” It’s the perfect blend of entertainment and sophistication, just like your mum!
Other Suggestions:

Let’s start with some serious pampering at The Bulgari Spa – massages, facials, the whole shebang.
Post-spa, take a leisurely stroll through Hyde Park. It has some of the most beautiful scenery in London.
Finally, cap off the day with a posh afternoon tea at The Ritz. Sandwiches, scones, and a cup of tea – the perfect end to a relaxing day.
