Whether you're an ex-pat looking for a slice of home (and pumpkin pie) or just fancy getting in on the pre-festive season celebrations, here's our pick of the Thanksgiving events happening in London on Thursday 26 November.
Whole Foods do Thanksgiving
As you might imagine, Whole Foods Market go rather big on Thanksgiving. If you'd rather host your feast at home than go out, it's the perfect pitstop for everything you need to cater a big Thanksgiving event. You can buy one of their amazing free-range and organic turkeys. They also do a sides package and a bakery box. But if you want to sit back and enjoy the day, then opt for one of their turkey meal packages, which come with everything you need for a Thanksgiving feast, from the fast roast turkeys to gravy, stuffing and even maple sprouts.

Dante
Mayfair - Claridge's, Brook St, London W1K 4HR
The Greenwich Village import sounds like it has a lovely Thanksgiving menu planned for its first year as a permanent spot in Claridge’s. Their menu starts with a Spiced Cranberry Kir Royale, and continues with shrimp cocktail, a Norfolk Turkey (including an apricot-stuffed leg) and agave-glazed ham. We also like the sound of their cocktail - a tiramisu eggnog, made with Amaretto, Vin Santo, mascarpone, espresso and chocolate shavings.
£125 per person (£65 for children)
108 Brasserie & Bar
Marylebone - 108 Marylebone Ln, London W1U 2QE
108 Brasserie's Thanksgiving dinner has an extra special element - the addition of a pie room! The main menu features lobster rolls and Baltimore-style crab cakes as well as a bronze turkey with sweet potato mash, creamed corn, stuffing and cranberry relish. But when it comes to dessert, you get to go to the dedicated pie room, which is laid out with American pie classics, including pumpkin, Mississippi mud, pecan and key lime pies. We now think that every dinner should end with a trip to a pie room.
£85 per person
Cent Anni
St John's Wood, Wimpledon Village
Both outposts of this Italian restaurant are going American for one day with their Thanksgiving menu. Unlike most dinners, this is an a la carte affair, so if you fancy you can have just the main event of a roast Norfolk turkey with cranberry stuffing, seasonal veg, gravy and creamy mash for £22.
Smith & Wollensky
Strand - 1-11 John Adam St, London WC2N 6HT
The menu at Smith & Wollensky this year does feature a bronze turkey with sausage and cornbread stuffing, but if you want to swerve the turkey there are a few steak options on the menu too. You can still pair the steak with sides like whipped potatoes and creamed corn with bacon and spring onion, though and finish off with a pumpkin pie.
£89 per person.
Ham Yard
Soho - 1 Ham Yard, London W1D 7DT
At Soho's Ham Yard, they're putting on an American-inspired feast, that kicks things off with jalapeno cornbread and gravy butter. On the menu here, you'll also find crab and sweetcorn chowder, fried green tomatoes, hush puppies and even deep south gumbo if you want to try something American but not turkey. And as for dessert, there's the promise of endless pumpkin pie from the trolley, so you'll want to save a fair bit of room for that.
£110 per person
Twenty8 NoMad
Covent Garden - 28 Bow St, London WC2E 7AW
Set in one of Covent Garden's most impressive dining rooms, Nomad originally came from New York, so they know a thing or two about Thanksgiving. Former Eleven Madison Park chef Josh Harnden has teamed up with Carlo Scotto for this menu, which includes kale salad with pear, blue cheese and sourdough crisps, turkey with charred Brussels sprouts, green bean cassoulet, sourdough stuffing and pommes purée on the side and lots of pies to choose from for dessert.
£98 per person.
Honey & Co
Bloomsbury & Fitzrovia
It sells out every year and for 2026, both Honey & Co Daily in Bloomsbury and Honey & Smoke in Fitzrovia are holding a Thanksgiving Supper Club hosted by their resident American, Bridget Fojcik. They're promising all the classics: Waldorf salad, buttermilk mash, traditional turkey, Bridget's special stuffing and pumpkin cheesecake for dessert.
£65 per person for three courses, at 6pm and 8.30pm
