Treat Your Mum to a Trip to London


Treating your Mum on Mother’s Day is something which should really involve a bit more thought than just stopping off at the supermarket or garage forecourt for a hastily chosen bunch of flowers. After all, if you take a step back for a second and think of everything that your Mum has done for you over the years – and, let’s be honest, still carries on doing, no matter how old you get – you’ll realise that you owe her more than anyone else, and that it’s never too soon (or too late) to let her know what she means to you by giving a lavish and well thought out gift that you know she’s going to love.

                  

One such gift, a gesture which will clearly demonstrate just how special you think she is, as well as allowing the two of you to spend some quality time together, is to treat your Mum to a Mother’s Day trip to London. This may seem like a huge extravagance, but the truth is that if you book well enough in advance (particularly the transport options) and choose the right accommodation, then you can arrange a fantastic trip without absolutely breaking the bank. The Paddington area, for example, is situated in the heart of London, which makes it an ideal base from which to travel to the other parts of the city which make up the rest of your treat. Park Grand London Paddington hotel, which is just around the corner from Paddington station, offers luxurious and comfortable accommodation at an extremely affordable price.  All of the rooms, as detailed at website are furnished and decorated to the highest standards and offer special touches such as free WIFI, flat screen satellite TV and air conditioning. By treating your mother to a stay in this hotel, you’d be giving her a taste of boutique luxury in a location which is within easy travelling distance of many of the leading attractions of London, no matter what kind of visit you wish to treat your mother to.

If she’s something of a shopaholic, then you could wait for a Saturday and take her along to Portobello Road, where the bespoke antique shops and independent boutique outlets will be augmented by second hand stalls stretching out for over a kilometre. From original artwork to antique jewellery and vintage clothing, everything imaginable will be available. Alternatively, you may opt to move in a more upmarket direction, and pay a visit to the iconic Fortnum and Mason’s department store where, even if the vast majority of items are beyond your budget, you could treat your Mum to one of their famous Afternoon Teas.

One of the factors which brings people flocking to London throughout the year is the thriving cultural scene and, whether your Mum is into Shakespeare, glitzy West End musicals or cutting edge experimental drama, you’re bound to be able to find something which she’ll be absolutely delighted to see. Finally, if she’s never been to London before, when why not simply treat her to an open top bus tour and a visit to a leading attraction such as the London Eye.
