4. See London’s skyline with IFS Cloud Cable Car
Soar 90-metres above the River Thames with the fantastic IFS Cloud Cable Car.

They even keep the trips going at night, so you can witness the city’s skyline illuminated under the stars! Our restaurant in Canary Wharf is just a hop, skip, and jump via the Elizabeth line, DLR, or Jubilee line, so add our fantastic feast to your trip itinerary.
5. Treat Mum to a cinema trip at ArtHouse Crouch End
Regularly voted by Time Out readers as the best cinema in London, this is a must-visit for Mum, especially if your local to Crouch End. An independent community-focused cinema, ArtHouse has intimate screenings and a small bar to make it truly unique. It’s just a 5-minute walk from Humble Grape Crouch End too, so a great thing to do before or after your Sunday lunch reservation with us.
6. Take in the greenery on the Parkland Walk
A beautiful walk around Crouch End, this 3-mile route between Finsbury Park and Alexandra Palace is on an abandoned railway line, offering some lovely quality time for the family on Mother’s Day. It opened in 1873 and is the longest linear nature reserve in London - great for moseying along with a dog too (you can always pop into Humble Grape halfway through for our Mother’s Day roast; we’re one of Crouch End’s dog-friendly restaurants!).
7. Experience Battersea Power Station and Lift 109
Spend some quality time with Mum by treating her to the wonderful experience of Battersea Power Station. With a plethora of shops to explore, it’s a great spot to while away the hours together, indulging in a little retail therapy. And for an experience that’s truly out of this world, don’t miss the chance to ride Lift 109 - you’ll ascent 109-metres up the Battersea Power Station chimney, offering jaw-dropping 360-degree views of London that will leave you both breathless!
8. Have a laugh together at Comedy Bandits
If you want to make Mum laugh so hard her cheeks will ache, then head to a Comedy Bandits show at the Railway Tavern in Clapham. Featuring a mix of both new and established comedians, it’s the perfect spot following your Sunday lunch with us at our restaurant on Battersea Rise.
