If you’re looking for inspiration on what to buy or do with Dad this Father’s Day, here’s some hand-picked suggestions available from stores and venues in the Seven Dials area of Covent Garden for every type of dad.

The Well Groomed Father:

For the father who is partial to personal grooming, a gift certificate from traditional barber shop Murdock London on Monmouth Street could be just the ticket. Services include a classic wet shave, moustache and beard trim, haircut or a shoe shine (prices start at £10 upwards). We also love their clean and quintessentially British fragrances such as their signature Avalon cologne (£65). Alternatively, indulge him with a pampering treatment at men-only spa Nickel on Shorts Gardens. Their luxurious services include ‘morning after rescue facials’ (£40), hot stone massages (£100), manicures and pedicures (£35).

The Foodie Father:

Treat carnivorous types to a hearty, juicy steak from Hawksmoor Seven Dials washed down by one of their award-winning cocktails. We recommend their porterhouse steak, aged for more than a month or the famous kimchi burger, a delicacy combining ground beef with cheese and home-made kimchi in a brioche bun.

If you plan on hosting a home-cooked Father’s Day meal, then head to Seven Dials born and bred Neal’s Yard Dairies and the Monmouth Coffee Company, famed for their fine quality cheese and coffee respectively, and provide the perfect ending to your menu.

Alternatively, if your Dad is a combined food and film buff, treat him to The Covent Garden Hotel’s Father’s Day Film Club. Choose from a luxurious three-course lunch or dinner with wine, before settling down to a 3.30pm screening of Kenneth Branagh's superhero film, Thor. Packages cost just £35 per person, to book click HERE.

Stylish Dad:

Add some stylish touches to his lifestyle with a pair of classic silver cufflinks from contemporary jeweller Gary Holder, a slim fit shirt from Adolfo Dominquez, a pair of leather shoes from Fly London or whip him into shape with a leather diary planner from Filofax on Neal Street. For dads who apply style and luxury to their home, a luxurious candle from Miller Harris is guaranteed to tick the box. We recommend their pillar candle scented with Bois Sauvage, a scent that evokes the heat, vegetation and terrain of the garrigue with fresh and aromatic notes of Italian bergamot, Tunisian rosemary and thyme absolute from France (priced at £55).

The Young Dad:

Young dads (or those who are young at heart) will not be disappointed with a t-shirt from Super Supericial. The store has created a six-strong collection especially for Father’s Day featuring designs from artists such as Matthew Green, Matt Dent and Taizo Yamamanto, priced at £35. For gadget lovers, Magma is a must for quirky gadgets and homewares, Kid Robot for limited edition designer toys and key rings and WESC for colourful, retro headphones (from £35.99).
