Somewhere between Hyde Park’s Spring blooms and the last crumbs of a hot cross bun, the Easter Bunny is having a moment. But he’s not just hiding eggs or posing for Instagram in Covent Garden. Oh no! It’s teaching us something important this Easter: how to let go.
Because if anyone knows how to travel light and start fresh, it’s the Easter Bunny.
So, this year, as you hear “Happy Easter” echo across London, from church bells in Westminster to chocolate counters in Fortnum & Mason. Remember: this season isn’t just about sugar and sparkles. It’s about releasing, renewing, and rediscovering joy in the simplest things.
Let’s take a page from the Bunny’s playbook, shall we?
You Can’t Fill a Basket That’s Already Full
Every Londoner knows: storage is limited, even for mythical creatures. And if the Easter Bunny clung to every single egg from Easter 1997, he’d never make it down Oxford Street, let alone to your garden in Dulwich.
That’s rule one: clear out the items that no longer serve you to welcome the new.
Easter in London, especially after the slower pace of Lent, is the perfect time to declutter your home, your mind, and maybe even your inbox. Give those unused jumpers and once-loved books a second life. Spoiler: they don’t belong in a cupboard; they belong in someone else’s story.
Hop Light to Hop Far
The Bunny has miles to cover. Hampstead Heath to Greenwich Park, so he travels light. That’s the secret to his legendary speed. The same goes for us. Whether you’re navigating your Borough Market grocery run or just trying to find your flat keys in the chaos, less really is more.
Spring cleaning is more than just a Pinterest activity, it’s a ritual. A modern echo of Lent’s practice of release. And it’s deeply effective in London: quick, practical, and full of charm. So, whether you’re letting go of resentment or that one random Tupperware lid with no container shed it, darling. Lighter feels better.
Magic Happens in the Space You Create
What’s the best part of an Easter egg hunt? The thrill of the unknown. Hidden eggs in Battersea Park or tucked into the rose bushes at Kew Gardens, it’s all about discovery. But here’s the thing: you can’t discover something new if there’s no space left to hide it.
Same with life. That cleared out shelf? It could be where your next passion project begins. That extra drawer? A home for fresh ideas. That extra hour you saved by not scrolling? Time to bake, walk, breathe, or finally try that pottery class.
Give Like the Bunny Gives: Freely and with Joy
The Easter Bunny doesn’t hoard the chocolate, he shares it. This Easter in London, let that spirit guide you. Got clothes you don’t wear, Toys the kids have outgrown, or Books you’ve read twice? Pass them on. Give them a second chance just like the season offers us.
Happy Easter Is More Than a Greeting
In London, “Happy Easter” comes with clinking teacups, fresh air, and the smell of toasted hot cross buns. It’s the hum of St. Paul’s Cathedral, kids giggling in Regent’s Park, and that first sip of rosé in the spring sun.
But it’s also a reminder: you don’t have to hold onto everything. Not the stress. Not the stuff. Not even the expectations.
So, this Easter, do what the Easter Bunny does best: let go, hop forward, and spread a little joy.
A Fresh Start!
Whether you’re spending Easter brunching in Notting Hill, walking along the Thames, or simply lounging in your freshly cleaned flat with daffodils on the windowsill, remember: the Easter Bunny is more than just chocolate. He’s about change. And believing that every egg you let go makes room for something better. If you have any items that no longer serve you, consider donating them.
