Easter in London: Things to do in St James’s

The long Easter bank holiday weekend is the perfect time to treat you and your loved ones to seasonal delights and explore the best that central London has to offer. Here are some inspired ideas to make the most of it: 

Visit The Regent Street Sensorium 

Step into a world of flavour, fragrance and fun as the Regent Street Sensorium pops up this spring! Created in collaboration with Bompas & Parr, this one-of-a-kind, free experience will take you on a multi-sensory journey through Regent Street. Find out more here. 

Go on an Easter trail around St James’s  

Start your weekend with a classic Easter egg hunt! Visit Venchi for a selection of exquisite chocolate eggs, see what truffle treasures Prestat has to offer or pick up adorable, themed treats from Ole & Steen. 

Fill Your Basket with Easter Treats 

No one does hampers quite like Fortnum & Mason. Stock up on artisanal jams, baked goods, and wine for a luxurious Easter Sunday feast. Or why not embrace the spring sunshine and enjoy an afternoon tea hamper in one of London’s scenic parks? 

Celebrate with Friends and Family 

Skip the cooking and enjoy a festive meal at one of central London’s top restaurants. Quaglino’s offers a vibrant weekend celebration with live music, brunch options, and delicious desserts. Or head to Maison Francois for afresh and vibrant breakfast. 

Book a Table for Easter Sunday lunch 

For an elevated dining experience, book a table at The Ritz London, where a beautifully curated three-course Easter menu awaits, complemented by live entertainment in an elegant setting. Try something a bit different to tradition with Scully's low-waste menus using seasonal ingredients.  Or take advantage of Claro's Easter brunch offer - a complimentary glass of champagne to diners who book for the long weekend, before 13th April.

Unique Easter Gifts  

Delight your loved ones with an exceptional Easter gift. Wander through Princes Arcade where you can browse Prestat’s gourmet eggs, Man Tidy’s latest accessories for any spring pursuits you might have planned or brighten their wardrobe with a pastel knit from Sirplus.   

Let your nose follow you to artisan cheesemonger Paxton & Whitfield, where Easter treats await in savoury form. Pick up a special Easter cheese gift to give to others (or ‘Caerphilly’ stash away for yourself).

Say Cheese! 

Visit Paxton & Whitfield for a savoury Easter treat, where you can pick up a carefully curated cheese selection - perfect for gifting or indulging yourself. Fortnum & Mason also offer a brilliant selection of cheeses at their cheese counter or head to one of St James’s wonderful Italian restaurants such as Cicchetti for some beautifully cheesy dishes.  

Dive into a Good Book 

Take advantage of the long weekend to catch up on your reading. St James’s is home to some of London’s finest bookshops, including Hatchards for literary classics, Maison Assouline for stylish coffee table books and the trusty Waterstones for the best latest reads.
