What To Do This Easter Weekend: 14th-17th April
Finally, the Bank Holiday weekend is here! That means four days of endless brunching, partying and Easter-related activities – below we’ve rounded up the best London has to offer, from Creme Egg pancakes to hidden basement clubbing and not one but seven new brunches. Enjoy!
The Jam Tree Chelsea
Thursday Night Party
The Jam Tree are getting the long weekend off to a cracking start (sorry…) with their big birthday bash. Their 6th birthday conveniently falls on the Easter weekend and, to celebrate, you can watch Made in Chelsea’s Alex Mytton DJing, drink Bellinis on the terrace when you arrive, and enjoy a complimentary hog roast, before partying till 2am.
Thursday 13th April
Where: 541 Kings Road, Chelsea, London, SW6 2EB, United Kingdom

Boisdale of Mayfair
London's Biggest Egg Menu
Name as many types of egg as you can… We get stuck after Burford Brown (our brunching has done us well) and sadly don’t think that Mini Eggs make the cut. Boisdale of Mayfair are boasting eight varieties of egg, served four ways all with sourdough toast, served over Easter only. Choose from the mini quail’s egg to the mighty ostrich egg and everything in between, served with everything from asparagus to Oscietra caviar. Oh, and our favourite Burford Brown makes the cut. Phew.
From Wednesday 12th April
Where: 12 North Row, Mayfair, London W1K 7DF, United Kingdom

The Botanist Broadgate Circle
Underground Club Night
Make Good Friday great by visiting The Botanist Broadgate Circle as they host their first club night in their hidden basement club, Soda Room. Dance the night away to resident and guest DJs, playing the best house music from 9pm until 3am. At least you have three days to recover…
Friday 14th April
Where: 5 Broadgate Circle, London EC2M 2QS, UK

The Savoy
A Cocktail Journey Through the UK
Embrace our great nation in alcohol form this weekend – the team at The Savoy’s American Bar have created a drinks menu to celebrate Britain, from down South all the way up to Scotland. From the lush Garden of England down in Kent, up through the Pennines to Scotland’s Castle Rock, the drinks utilise local ingredients to create a sophisticated sensory drinking experience. We like the sound of Arthur’s Seat; Royal Brackla 16-year-old malt whiskey, wild honeysuckle aperitif wine, honey water, raspberry vinegar and blossom bitters.
Available from Thursday 13th April
Where: The Savoy, Strand, London, United Kingdom

Maple & King's
Healthy New Brunch
A 4-day weekend calls for 4 opportunities for brunch so luckily this weekend’s guide is loaded with them. Maple & King’s opened fairly recently but just last week added a brunch to their repertoire. A healthy menu features poached eggs on a cauliflower hotcake served with beetroot smoked salmon and charred kale, and gluten-free rhubarb pomegranate oat pancakes with coconut yogurt and maple vegan butter. Phew! It’s not totally virtuous though – BYOB and sip on proseccco as you eat.
All weekend
