For Americans, Thanksgiving usually means family gathered round the table with roast turkey, pumpkin pie and far too much food.
The tradition dates back to the 17th century with the Pilgrims, and although its history is complicated, today it’s more about gratitude and time with loved ones.
While the UK doesn’t celebrate Thanksgiving (it’s very much a North American holiday), London’s international food scene means you’ll still find plenty of restaurants and hotels putting on a proper feast.
Here are the top spots to book for Thanksgiving in London this year, from an American Londoner.
