To me, the arrival of Mother’s Day is the signifier that spring has officially sprung. Rushing to send bouquets of rainbow tulips to your family home address and scribbling on the inside of pastel cards. Sending first class with the hopes it’ll get there on the Saturday! When this panic set in, snowdrops bud on patches of green and evenings run longer and brighter – spring has sprung. Although Mother’s Day sits in the springtime, this year on March 10th, that doesn’t mean you must only organise to do something special with your mum on that designated day.
It may be the case that you can’t even spend Mother’s Day any closer than a FaceTime call. Maybe stolen away to the city for the job you moved away for in your twenties - yet to return to the front-lawned world of suburbia. Or perhaps you are in the position in life where you both have your mother and are a mother yourself, facing the struggle of organising all the generations in the same place on that one Sunday. You may also find that the one thing your mum would absolutely love isn’t on in March, in fact it’s not on till autumn. Here we’ve brought together some of the best ways to spend a day in London with your mother in 2024. Either as something to pencil in for later and look forward to with anticipation or to book for the Sunday as one traditionally would. We strove for flexibility this year, and you can too – it's never too late in the year to celebrate your mum.
