London boasts some of the world’s most scrumptious afternoon tea spots. No Easter celebration is complete without indulging in delicious, mini sweet treats! Treat yourself to an Easter-themed afternoon tea at London’s Charlie & The Chocolate Factory Afternoon Tea experience at One Aldwych. Fizzy lifting drinks, snozzberry jam, chocolate swudge milkshake mixed by waterfall – are just some of the decadent Roald Dahl inspired treats you can feast on.

Nestled in the city of London, visit Covent Garden, Borough Market and Southbank Centre Food Market to discover delectable treats and a vibrant atmosphere. Browse what the stalls have to offer, from artisanal goods, iconic gifts and of course the sweet treats. Don't forget to hunt some freshly hot cross buns – a yummy treat this Easter!

Rent a boat in Paddington and cruise along London's canals

Hire a self-drive boat and ride along the famous Regent's Canal whilst indulging on an Easter picnic. Take in the views along Paddington Basin, Little Venice, and Maida Hill Tunnel. With the boats holding up to six people, this is a wonderful way to spend Easter with the family whilst discovering London’s hidden gems.
