Here’s a heads up, London! Father’s Day 2026 is just around the corner; the annual celebration of patriarchs and father figures falls on Sunday June 21. Still racking your brains for a thoughtful gift or something nice to do with your old man? Your pals at Time Out have your back.

Not only can we furnish you with a thorough guide to the city’s best FIFA World Cup screenings, steak restaurants, some proper London boozers, cracking curries and excellent whisky bars, but we’ve also rounded up some less clichéd ideas for the dads whose idea of a good time doesn’t involve five pints of real ale, a 400g sirloin and some chat about the football. Here’s to the aul’ fella!
