If you\u2019re looking for a spiritual Easter, attend services at one of the famous cathedrals in the city. London\u2019s most famous church, Westminster<\/a> Abbey, has a host of services during Holy Week<\/strong>, including a procession down Victoria Street on Good Friday, a Vigil on Holy Saturday and two services on Easter Sunday. If you\u2019d prefer to be on the South Bank, seek out Southwark<\/a> Cathedral, London\u2019s oldest cathedral<\/strong>. Southwark will be hosting a Good Friday concert, featuring Faure\u2019s Requiem and has four services to choose from on Easter Sunday. When you\u2019re in the area over the weekend, be sure to experience Borough Market, London\u2019s ultimate foodie destination open Thursday-Saturday right across from London Bridge station.<\/p>\n

Rather hunt for Easter Eggs? London\u2019s many attractions can accommodate you. In Mayfair<\/a>, t<\/strong>he<\/strong> Handel House Museum will host a Hallelujah for Easter event with live Baroque music and an Easter egg trail from noon to 6pm on Easter Sunday<\/strong>. Thorntons chocolate makers organizes an Easter Egg Trail in Covent Garden, West End<\/a>. Children must seek out clues throughout the Piazza and once they\u2019ve completed the trail will receive a free chocolate egg. Or you can travel up to Kenwood House near Hampstead Heath for bucolic Easter trail in an English Heritage house.<\/p>\n

Easter weekend also hosts the Oxford Cambridge Boat Race. This storied rivalry has been going on since 1829 and now draws millions of fans from all over the world to witness the two crews battle down the Thames. Head out to West London to catch the start of the race at Putney Bridge, between Fulham and Putney, the middle of the race at Hammersmith or the finish at Chiswick. The Thames becomes an outdoor festival as spectators line both sides of the river for the entire course. The Boat Race is as much about socializing as it is about the racing and there are plenty of pubs along the way to keep you sated before and after the boats pass. Check out the Blue Anchor on the Lower Mall near Hammersmith or Ye White Hart in Barnes, near the final push towards Chiswick. Be sure to get there early though, otherwise you won\u2019t be able to get a drink or see the race.<\/p>\n
