As Father’s Day fast approaches devoted daughters and sons may be scrambling for the perfect event or gift to give their dad, or to give to an important father-figure in their lives.
To help you plan the perfect outing this Sunday (June 20), we have compiled a list of six great places or activities to book or check out on the special day in north and east London.
1. MAP Maison, Haggerston
MAP Maison, 321 Kingsland Rd, London E8 4DL
Haggerston’s MAP Masion café and night-time bar is offering up some great experiences for Father’s Day including a Japanese Whisky masterclass, which can be gifted and then booked for a later date.
The bar also offers a Tapas Style Afternoon Tea as well as a range of other in-house and virtual masterclasses covering a wide range of spirits.
The cost of the Japanese Whisky masterclass is £50 per person.
But, if your dad prefers a drink at home, a premium bottle of MAP lab cocktail is available with free local delivery.

2. Narrowboat, Islington
119 St Peter's St, London N1 8PZ
If your dad is more of a pint and grub kind of man, how about taking him to the Narrowboat in Islington, a hidden gem situated on Regent’s Canal.
The floating eatery is located just a short walk away from Angel station and offers a fantastic range of cask ale, craft beers and wines as well as a classic British menu with canal inspired fish dishes.
It is also offering take-away food and drinks for families taking a stroll down the canal.

3. Moo Canoes, Hackney Wick
Capital Ring, London E15 2DZ
A great gift for father’s seeking adventure in London could involve traversing the waterways of Hackney Wick on a Moo Canoe.
This Father’s Day the activity could prove particularly adventurous considering the stormy weather headed to the capital. Of course, you could book in advance for a much sunnier day to spend with your dad.

4. Black Horse, Wembley
Harrow Rd, Wembley HA0 2QP
The Black Horse in Wembley is serving up a quality roast for dads to enjoy on Sunday, with all the trimmings.
The comfort food comes with your father's choice of favourite cask ales. You can even throw in a gift card so your dad can pop back in for another seasonal pub dish or perfectly-poured pint whenever he likes.
