Other stuff...

Here are some other ideas on how to spoil her rotten:

Sunday Lunch:
She's cooked enough meals for you so why not give her the day off(!) by shouting her lunch at a pub or restaurant. Whatever her tastes, we've got it covered, see our list of London restaurant offers to choose from!

Things to do:
Why not take your mum out for a day of thrills and spills? London packs in hundreds of attractions - for instance there's: the London Eye, London Zoo, the London Dungeon, Madame Tussauds, The Tower of London, the London Bridge Experience, the London Aquarium, the Thames RIB Experience and many, many more; get inspired by seeing them all in our City Guide.

Say it with flowers:
Mother's Day has always been synonymous with a big bunch of flowers. See what the best florists in London have on offer in our Florists directory.
But if you want flowers on a HUGE scale, then why not plan a visit to Kew Gardens!?

Pampering:
Put your feet up mum! Why not treat your mum to a massage or even a spa day and make-over? See our guide to London's Best Spas here.

See a West End show:
Whether it's a classic like The Mousetrap, Les Mis, Mama Mia, Dirty Dancing or Billy Elliot or even a celebrity-packed new production like Fatal Attraction (Natasha McElhone, Mark Bazeley and Sex and the City's Kristin Davis) why not take your mum into the bright lights of the West End for a show?! See our West End ticket section for ideas on the best shows in town.

Gifts:
Jewellery, jewellery, jewellery... another great dependable idea for Mother's Day... and London's Hatton Gardens is the home of the bling. See our Hatton Gardens jewellery guide and shops in Hatton Garden directory as well as our London Jewellers Guide.


Whatever you decide to do be sure to spoil your mum!
