Things to Do in London in March

Looking for the best things to do in London in March? This month bridges winter and spring, offering a mix of indoor experiences and the first signs of longer, brighter days.

With Mother’s Day falling on March 15 2026 in the UK, as opposed to the American date which falls in May, expats need to plan ahead. The store will not provide cards later! And on the 29th the clocks keep ticking, bringing longer nights that make the city feel more accessible.

March is also an ideal time to explore before the hustle and bustle of the Easter holidays. Enjoy a sweet afternoon tea, soak up the atmosphere at an Irish pub for St Patrick’s Day, or relax at a candlelight concert in a historic venue.
