Make it Personal...
From Gucci to Louis Vuitton, Bond Street is renowned for its personalised engraving and monogramming services. Tod's offers a personalised 'My Gommino' experience, whereby a choice of specific colours, exclusive materials, and unique finishing touches can be added to the Italian house's iconic driving shoes. At Burberry, there is a complementary personalisation service at its in-house Scarf Bar. Elsewhere, British heritage brand Swaine London, offers customers the option to engrave the handle on its exotic Kingwood umbrella. And exceptional timepieces can be made even more personal at IWC Schaffhausen's flagship store. Here you can add initials, memorable dates or heartfelt messages on watches, while select leather straps can be embossed with gold lettering.
Experience By Appointment on Bond Street...
Why not spend quality time together with a visit to one of Bond Street's many in-store tailoring services? There's nothing quite like a custom-made suit-fitting experience at Brunello Cucinelli or Ralph Lauren, where made-to-order and made-to-measure tailoring is a cut above. Hackett is also home to personal tailoring and bespoke services, along with its very own barbers offering wet shaves and haircuts. The Church's store offers a professional shoe shine. And personal appointments are available at the Swiss luxury watchmaker Breitling where he can choose a new watch or have an existing one serviced.
Treat him to an unforgettable dining experience...
A tableside roast duck experience is all part of the special treatment at Hakkasan this Father's Day. Inspired by Cantonese tradition with refined British culinary influences, the duck is carved tableside and served alongside sharing plates. Guests can also enjoy immersive entertainment as dancers holding LED fans weave around the dining room.
Gordon Ramsay's Lucky Cat is a world away from the traditional; think bold Asian-inspired sharing plates, the finest sushi and sashimi, and robata-grilled dishes designed to be ordered, shared, and ordered again. For something even more indulgent, there's the Lucky Cat Afternoon Tea with a twist. Here, delicate nigiri are best paired with matcha-strawberry sandos, from £50 per person. You could also book the weekend brunch with signature dishes and free-flowing drinks, if he’s that kind of dad.
