5 Places to take your mum to this Mother’s Day!
Treat your Mum this Mother’s Day, by taking her out for the day to one of these hot spots. With options for small intimate dinners or just a coffee catch up there’s something for you.
Located on the iconic King’s Road in Chelsea, this restaurant is known for good food and great memories! The overall décor is ‘outdoors-in’, with florals and greenery running throughout the restaurant giving the spaces a warm and refreshing atmosphere and making it light and airy, (even when super busy!) enhancing your overall customer experience.
The Garden & Terrace is one of the most popular areas at The Ivy Chelsea, known as their pièce de résistance and is quite literally bringing the outdoors-in. The Terrace area has a retractable roof, giving you the option for sun in the summer and cover during less sunny periods. Then there’s the garden; designed by Cameron Landscapes and Gardens, it has a mix of classic vintage mirrors, leafy greenery and beautiful ceramic pots. The velvet upholstered lounge chairs and large fire pit welcome you to the cosy space all year round.
The Ivy Chelsea also has an utterly gorgeous private dining room, The Eden Room. The botanical/tropical theme carries on into this space with the vintage wallpaper and artwork covering the walls. This private dining room can seat up to 30 on one long table, or 50 for a more informal standing drinks and canapé reception, available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. With a built-in bar this space is stocked and ready for any occasion you have to throw at it.
The femininity this restaurant has is empowering and altogether glorious. I know my mum would adore this restaurant, and I’m sure yours will too! Just down the road from the restaurant is the Duke of York Square home to the Saatchi Gallery, with altering exhibitions its perfect for a post or pre-lunch gander.
The Langham Hotel is an iconic luxury hotel situated just behind the hustle and bustle that Oxford Street brings to London. It has been providing for its amazing customers since 1865 when it opened its doors as Europe’s first ‘Grand Hotel’.

The Coral Room is the main restaurant and bar at The Bloomsbury Hotel, with an Art Deco-inspired vibe it’s a perfect hidden gem for a drink or if you’re a bit peckish, something to eat. Open all day with the option for a bite to eat for brekkie, or a coffee and catch up with your Mum this Mother’s Day – then the space and atmosphere transform in the evening into a lively cocktail bar with a live DJ performing over the weekend. No need to leave – eat all day, and party all night!
There’s also the Dalloway Terrace, the epiphany of a highly Instagrammable spot with photo opportunities at every turn. It’s an outside space that’s heated throughout the year and is a lovely secluded peaceful place to get together with your Mum! The décor changes with the seasons, giving you the excuse to return again and again. Currently, the #Dallowayspringterrace is in full swing, bringing together bright pink, white and green flowers.
