Father’s Day in London Guide
With Father’s Day just around the corner, we’ve rounded up some top-notch ideas to help you treat Dad to an unforgettable day in London. Whether he’s an adrenaline junkie, a foodie, or a fan of the great outdoors, there’s something in the capital to make him feel like royalty. And don’t worry about the travel, book an Addison Lee and we will handle the rides, so Dad can sit back, relax, and enjoy the day he deserves.
For the Thrill-Seeking Dad
Is your dad always chasing his next adrenaline rush? London’s got plenty of heart-pounding experiences to satisfy his adventurous side.
Start by diving into the deep with a shark-snorkelling experience at SEA LIFE London, or take on the challenge of scaling the iconic O2 arena with Up at The O2 — a 90-minute climb that rewards with panoramic views. Prefer speed? Hop aboard a Thames speedboat for an exhilarating ride down the river.
For a dash of healthy competition, go head-to-head at TeamSport Go Karting near Tower Bridge — a multi-level track where speeds and bragging rights collide. Or for something a bit more lighthearted, take him to Junkyard Golf Club for a round (or three) of quirky mini golf, cocktails in hand.
Food Fit for a King
When it comes to food, London delivers — no matter your dad’s tastes.
If your day includes a walk on the Heath, swing by The Bull & Last for a hearty, slow-cooked oxtail ragu in a cozy Victorian setting. For serious steak lovers, Boisdale of Bishopsgate hits the mark with perfectly grilled cuts, fine whisky, live jazz, and even a cigar terrace — with other locations in Mayfair, Belgravia, and Canary Wharf.
In the mood for something spicier? Brick Lane’s legendary curry houses await, or opt for Dishoom in Shoreditch and introduce Dad to their cult-favourite black dal and bacon naan.
A Gentleman's Afternoon Tea
Swap the scones and cucumber sandwiches for something a little bolder with a Gentleman’s Afternoon Tea experience.
At the Hyatt Regency’s Churchill Bar, enjoy cocktails and cigars in plush surroundings. Or head to The Mandeville Hotel in Marylebone for steak and snail sandwiches paired with a fine whisky selection in luxurious leather booths.
If your dad’s a cricket fan, the Gentleman’s Tea at Lord’s is an unforgettable experience — complete with views of the pitch. Just don’t forget to dress the part: jackets and ties are a must.
End the Day with a Show
Wrap up the celebrations with some world-class entertainment. London’s West End is buzzing with iconic musicals like Wicked and The Lion King — book ahead or swing by for last-minute tickets if you’re feeling spontaneous.
Looking for laughs instead? Head over to Top Secret Comedy Club, where tickets start at just £1 and the laughs come guaranteed. It’s a low-key, high-reward way to end the day on a high note.
Whatever kind of dad you’re celebrating this Father’s Day, London has the perfect plan to show him just how much he’s appreciated. And with Addison Lee handling the logistics, all you need to focus on is making memories.
