Dining in London: celebrating Mother’s Day, International Women’s Day and the joy of gathering

March in London always feels like a month made for gathering.

At Lantana, brunch in London has always been about more than food. It’s about connection. Long conversations over good coffee, shared plates that linger on the table, and the kind of catch-ups that stretch into afternoons across neighbourhoods from Fitzrovia to London Bridge and Shoreditch.

This March, with International Women’s Day, Mother’s Day and B Corp Month all arriving together, it feels like the perfect time to reflect on what hospitality really means to us.

Celebrating women across London’s hospitality community

Hospitality in London is built on people.

Behind every service are teams who care deeply about how guests feel when they walk through the door, from chefs crafting seasonal dishes to front-of-house teams creating spaces that feel welcoming, relaxed and genuinely joyful.

International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the women who contribute to that experience every day, both within our restaurants and across London’s wider community of producers, suppliers and guests who shape Lantana.

It’s also a reminder that some of the most meaningful celebrations happen simply around a table, with time set aside for conversation and connection.

Mother’s Day brunch in London: why it’s a perfect way to celebrate

Mother’s Day in London has become one of those occasions naturally suited to brunch.

There’s something about a late morning table — shared plates, good coffee, a cocktail or two — that creates space for stories, laughter and unhurried time together, whether you’re celebrating in London Bridge, Fitzrovia or gathering friends in Shoreditch.

Whether you’re celebrating mothers, grandmothers, chosen family or the people who’ve supported you in ways big and small, the moment isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.

And sometimes, the most thoughtful gift is simply gathering over brunch in London.

A B Corp approach to hospitality in London

March also marks B Corp Month.

As a certified B Corp restaurant group in London, this perspective sits at the heart of how we think about hospitality. From sourcing and partnerships to the atmosphere we create in our neighbourhood spaces, we believe restaurants can play a meaningful role in building connection and community.

For us, purpose isn’t something that sits apart from the guest experience. It’s woven into it, through the food we serve, the producers we work with, and the spaces we create for people to come together across London.

Where to enjoy brunch in London this March

In a city that moves quickly, brunch offers something quietly valuable: time.

Time to catch up with friends you haven’t seen in months.
Time to celebrate milestones that might otherwise pass unnoticed.
Time to gather family around a table without the rush of an evening reservation.

Whether you’re planning a Mother’s Day brunch in London, celebrating International Women’s Day with friends, or simply looking for a relaxed weekend brunch in Fitzrovia, London Bridge or Shoreditch, March feels like the perfect moment to make space for connection.

Planning your Mother’s Day brunch in London

If you’re thinking about gathering this month, a little planning goes a long way, particularly for occasions like Mother’s Day, when brunch tables across London tend to fill quickly.

But the spirit of the moment isn’t about grand gestures. It’s about creating time to be together, share food, and enjoy the kind of conversations that only happen when there’s nowhere else you need to be.

And that’s something worth making space for.
