Thanksgiving time in London
This one is for all our US imports in London that are looking forward to Thanksgiving tomorrow (24.11.11)!
Even though it’s considered more of an American holiday, there are plenty of places to celebrate and take part in the festivities (but without the stress of cooking) with these top choices for celebrating Thanksgiving at London restaurants, plus a few other things to get your in the Christmas mood!
Babylon in Roof Gardens
Feast lovers should definitely try the cuisine at Babylon in Roof Gardens located at 99 Kensington High Street, London, W8 5SA. The scenery is beautiful and there are various feasts for lunch and dinner available on Thanksgiving starting at £38. A jazz band also plays in the evening to help bring in the celebration.

Brasa
We love the sound of the Thanksgiving menu at Brasa in Fulham Broadway. US chef Ashbell McElveen is holding a one-off Thanksgiving Supper which includes his own special take on the traditional turkey offering. We can’t help but salivate over the sound of a Bourbon Grilled Turkey Steak…
Served 6-10pm, www.brasalondon.com
Benjamin Franklin House
Expect a classic American feast with all the trimmings at Benjamin Franklin House located at 36 Craven Street, London, WC2N 5NF. With all proceeds from the evening supporting the continuing maintenance of this historic institution and activities for children, it’s a great family environment.
The spread includes loads of turkey and pumpkin pie for everyone.
Tickets cost £65 for adults and £25 for children.
HIX
Want to make thanksgiving a classy fair?
Hix at the Albermarle located at Brown’s Hotel, 33-34 Albemarle Street, London, W1S 4BP is known for its British specialities, but make Thanksgiving meal a staple for Londoners. Three courses will include pumpkin soup, roast turkey, and pecan and bourbon tart finished with very English clotted cream, plus coffees and truffles.

Natural History Museum ice skating
Ice Skating
If you’re looking to get out and enjoy the cold weather, there is ice skating at a number of venues in London.
The Natural History Museum is probably the most popular venue with an £8 fee and convenient to find(although book in now as it’s in demand!). There are also locations available for ice skating at Canary Wharf, Tower of London and Somerset House.
Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park
Winter Wonderland
For a carnival-like atmosphere head out to Hyde Park for their Winter Wonderland specials that feature a German market, a host of rides (tokens required) from an enormous big wheel to a helter skelter, not to mention food stalls, ice skating and much more. Best part, no admission fee!
Happy holidays!!
