Make sure mum feels special this Mother’s Day by treating her to a fabulous day out in London. Here are my top suggestions for the best ways to celebrate Mother’s Day in the capital:

Enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea in trendy Number Sixteen

Take mum to stylish boutique hotel Number Sixteen, hidden away on a quiet residential street in South Kensington, for a delicious afternoon tea. The hotel, which has a cute little restaurant and a lovely garden, serves afternoon tea and cream tea all day. For a truly unique experience, ask to have your tea served in one of the two comfy lounges (if they’re not occupied by hotel guests). The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, and the setting is super trendy. A real treat for mum!

Book a photo shoot at Boggio Studios and create fun family portraits

Give mum a gift that can be treasured by generations this Mother’s Day, and take her and the little ones to a photo shoot at Boggio Studios, run by Julia Boggio, who’s recently photographed the likes of Judi Dench, Zoe Wannamaker, Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Phillip. Bring your own outfits and accessories, or make use of all the fun costumes and props at the fabulous studio. Alternatively, you can have the photographer come to your London home for a memorable home shoot with mum. This is all about having fun, and creating fantastic wall art in the process!

Savour a picnic in Richmond Park with pre-packed hamper

Surprise mum with a wonderful family day out in Richmond Park, the largest of London’s eight Royal Parks. Go for a walk among ancient oak trees and look for the herds of deer residing in the park. To make the day extra special, pre-book a fresh and seasonal picnic hamper from Lass O Richmond Hill, and find a perfect picnic spot near this local pub on the corner of the park. Brilliant way to celebrate mum in the great outdoors!

Be pampered with a massage and nourishing float at Elemis Spa

Treat mum this Mother’s Day with a trip to the lovely Elemis Spa, tucked away on Lancashire Court in Mayfair. Despite being located in the middle of busy central London, Elemis Spa is a brilliant place to unwind and take a break from everyday life. The lovely Lancashire Court can be difficult to find for tourists trawling up and down New Bond Street, and after entering the spa you’ll soon forget where you are. Go for a massage and a nourishing float for an incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating experience, which can be booked for two people at the same time. And don’t forget to celebrate with some bubbles afterwards in popular Hush in the same street!
