Top 4.. Mother's Day ideas in London

Mother's Day in the Fork My Knife household has taken various guises of the years. Moving from the breakfast in bed, expertly prepared by two small children who garnished breakfast with a smattering of tears, stray hair and the occasional flake of scalded skin, to baked goods, (fewer tears, hair and skin), and progressing finally to two larger children booking restaurants after realizing that the cooking was best left to the professionals (no tears, skin or hair). 


For the past couple of years Mother's Day has involved some combination of exhibition + restaurant. Here are my top choices for this year:

1) Freud at the National Portrait Gallery: (review here)

 2) Turner Inspired at the National Gallery: (has yet to open) 


Followed by brunch at either Dean Street Town House or Delaunay

3) Hockney at the Royal academy: (review here) 


Followed by brunch at either the Wolseley or Le Caprice 

4) Cecil Beaton's photos of the Queen at the V&A:  (review here)


Followed by brunch at Aubaine,  South Kensington
