    I was going to suggest a garden centre but if you want to do afternoon tea in London then I'd suggest Richoux, it's waaaay cheaper than the hotels and just the BEST place for people watching!

    I've only been once (to the one on Piccadilly) and it was full of lots of very wealthy middle-aged men and much younger very high class (paid by the night) women if you get my drift ;) and an MP and his wife who caused a terrible scene because they were trying to thrash out details of their divorce over tea and cakes :eek:

    Make £25 a day in April £0/£750 (March £584, February £602, January £883.66)

    December £361.54, November £322.28, October £288.52, September £374.30, August £223.95, July £71.45, June £251.22, May£119.33, April £236.24, March £106.74, Feb £40.99, Jan £98.54) Total for 2017 - £2,495.10

    Thanks all. I actually live on the edge of London and work there so I do know it fairly well but was struggling to think of some specific places and new ideas that my mum would like. I'm loving the Fortnum & Masons idea and really liked the look of their ice cream parlour and tea room. The museum of childhood sounds interesting. :)

    Catkins - I live in Greenwich borough and love spending the day in the market, seeing the Cutty Sark and then having a drink in the Old Royal Naval College by the river. :) I've also seen Matilda and highly recommend The Book of Mormon if you get back to London.

    Ive been thinking about seeing the Book of Mormon, I might now you've suggested it!
