Father’s Day

London has always been a city famous for its all-catering sites and entertainment. Whether it be the all round comfort of the Montcalm at the Brewery London City or a fine dining experience with a menu for everyone, London is the perfect place to visit with family, friends or even co-workers.

Whilst it’s great to visit with groups, visiting with a single person can prove a little bit trickier, especially if you know their likes and dislikes all too well. With Father’s Day around the corner, it can be easy to fret over your Dad’s ever-growing list of pet peeves, but with London’s plethora of entertainment, events, and accommodation in London City, you could gift the man who raised you with more than just a novelty mug this June 16th.
