Looking for a treat for the leading lady in your life? Then a special, once-in-a-lifetime experience has no doubt crossed your mind, as they’re so popular with mums when it comes to showing just how much you care. After all, she’s sure to jump at the chance to spend some quality time with you, rather than accepting another scarf or bottle of perfume!
London is one of the best cities in the world to help you spoil your fabulous mum, and we’ve rounded up a selection of our favourite experiences she’s bound to love.
A luxury afternoon tea
There’s arguably not many things mums love more than tea, so why not treat her to the ultimate tea experience?! Take advantage of some of the best Afternoon Tea London Deals across the city, and watch her face light up as she’s treated to a delicious array of sandwiches, savouries and sweets – with as much tea and coffee as she can drink, of course.
Lots of the best London hotels, such as the Piccadilly Hotel even offer champagne alternatives, which is great if you’re celebrating something particularly exciting!
Dinner and a show
From ‘Mamma Mia’ to ‘Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat’, ‘9 to 5’ and ‘Tina – the musical’, it’s fair to say there are countless plays and musicals showing in London all year round that your mum will go crazy for.
Lots of the best Restaurants West End London offer great ‘dinner and a show’-style deals which can be a great way to help you make a true night of it, and to make sure mum has all the fuel she needs so she can sing along all night long!
An afternoon of shopping
Pay mum back for all the times she took you shopping (maybe against your will, but still!) and treat her to an afternoon looking around the shops of her choice. London has some incredible (and extremely diverse) shopping districts, so regardless of what sort of thing your mum loves to pick up, she’ll find it here.
Looking for luxury? You can’t beat Selfridges and beyond, towards the likes of Bond Street and Regent Street. Or maybe your mum likes to shop for things that are a little more unique? Take a visit to the thrifty markets of Camden, or to Covent Garden’s famous market to find something as wonderfully individual as she is.
Near some of the city’s top shopping areas, you’ll find an abundance of Special Offers London Hotels to take advantage of, too.
A trip on the London Eye
Perhaps your mum is a little bit of an adrenaline junkie? Or at the very least, likes an experience with a view… What better way to show her you care than with a trip on the London Eye, to experience London in all its glory from above?
If you can, try and go on a day that isn’t cloudy, as your view might not be quite so special. A good insider tip is to aim to go around 11 am – where it won’t be too crowded, and the views will be amazing.
