Amazing Mother’s Day ideas in London

Look, it's a cliche for a reason: going for a fancy afternoon tea really will make your Mum feel like you care, especially if you refrain from messily scoffing cream buns like Paddington on the rampage. Mariage Frères’s Parisian style offering (from £59pp) is exceedingly pretty, or go left-field with Pan Pacific's Lunar tea (from £68pp), offering Cantonese-style buns alongside the dainty little sandwiches.
