My boyfriend’s mum and dad are coming down in a few weeks and we need to entertain them for the weekend, so here’s my question: what the hell do we do with them?
I need stuff to do during the day and somewhere for a drink and some grub in the evening.
They’ve already done the London Eye (that seems to be everyone’s default place to take the parents in London), and obviously I don’t want to take them anywhere too scummy or wild for dinner.
So your ideas please! I don’t want to lose my lovely boyfriend because I suck at entertaining the oldies :)

As I’m a huge brunch fan so I’d recommend you take them somewhere classic for Sunday (or even Saturday) brunch, whether higher-end options like brunch at the Landmark or something more low-key like American style choices -including great milkshakes! - at Automat.
Who can argue with great breakfast food :)

My Mum and Dad love the National portrait Gallery, and they have the Vanity Fair exhibition on right now, which is pretty good.
Other ideas:
Kew Gardens, Borough Market, tate Modern.
As for food: what about the Anchor and Hope in Waterloo?

I would recommend a walk through Richmond Park, followed by lunch/drinks at Petersham Nurseries.

if you go to the national gallery, you can take then for lunch there. Yummy and cultured all at once.

what about a show in the evening? i have heard that The Jersey Boys is fantastic! Also.. for the daytime.. why not try out one of the many walking tours that are available. Good luck :)

Couple of guides I did that might give some ideas for something a bit different:

Hmmm, while since I added any to them, think there might be some more to add!
