Selfridges Easter Special: Hop into Easter Fun with The Little Slice Pizza Class.

Fortnum & Mason Floral Decorated Easter Egg: Dainty floral sugar decorations cascade down the side of Fortnum & Mason's milk chocolate egg, which conceals a series of additional surprises in its shell by way of chocolate Easter shapes, which have also all been handmade. Eggs have represented the holiday of Easter for a long while because they represent new life. Why is that relevant? Well, not only does Easter take place at the dawn of spring, but Easter obviously originated as (and for many, remains) a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. These are traditionally given on Easter Sunday.

Toklas Hot Cross Bun: This year's Toklas hot cross buns have arrived. They feature candied pomelo and blood orange with orange zest from regular collaborator Todolí Citrus Fundació as well as Carinthian Greek raisins. As for the dough, that's infused with chai tea, along with cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves from Spice Mountain. Why Hot Cross Buns? The cross on the bun symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Eaten traditionally on the morning of Good Friday. I remember my dad getting up early to go to the bakery so we could eat them whilst they were still warm and spread with lashing of salted butter!

The Passion of Jesus: Every Good Friday, Trafalgar Square is transformed by the Wintershall Theatre’s extraordinary open-air re-enactment of The Passion of Jesus. A cast of more than 100 actors and volunteers, alongside horses, donkeys and doves, bring the story of Christ’s final hours to life in one of London’s most iconic public spaces. 2026 marks the 15th anniversary of the performance, which has grown into one of the most visible cultural and religious events in central London during Holy Week. It draws tens of thousands of spectators every year, arrive early for a good spot.

Lanes Of London Easter Afternoon tea: Lanes of London has one of the prettiest Easter-adjacent treats. Its Guess How Much I Love You afternoon tea runs Friday to Sunday, from 13 March to 19 April, with the menu built around sweet little references to the much-loved children’s book. Whimsical, yes, but still polished enough to charm the adults too.

Easter Sunday Roast at Kitchen at Holmes: This is a good Marylebone pick for those who want Easter lunch to feel relaxed but still occasion-worthy. Weekend brunch and Sunday roast both feature, which makes it an easy sell for a long, lazy gathering. Expect perfectly crisp roast potatoes, comforting seasonal accompaniments and all the trimmings. Gather friends, bring family and enjoy in the relaxed Marylebone setting.
