Why Choose a Boutique Stay Near Hyde Park?

Best Ways to Celebrate Mother’s Day in London 2026
1. A Royal Afternoon Tea
No Mother’s Day is complete without scones and clotted cream. Nearby, The Milestone Hotel and The Ritz offer iconic tea services, but for something unique, try the floral-themed afternoon tea at Dalloway Terrace in Bloomsbury, just a short tube ride away from Paddington.
2. Blooms at Columbia Road
Take the Central Line from nearby Lancaster Gate to Bethnal Green to visit the famous Columbia Road Flower Market. On Mother’s Day, the market is a riot of colour. Pick up a bespoke bouquet of peonies or roses to surprise her back at the hotel.
