"Brenda Howard—a.k.a. The Mother of Pride—probably didn’t envision you kicking off your Pride route at a make-your-own-sundae station. Would she approve? We hope so. Dovetale is a British hotel restaurant with some frills (spa-like bathroom, cloakroom for your sequined blazer), but a relaxed feel. It’s a seven-minute stroll from the parade starting point at Hyde Park Corner, and a complimentary mini sourdough baguette feels like a suitably celebratory way to kick things off." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
