Thanksgiving 2023 falls on Thursday 23rd November. Thanksgiving commemorates the harvest feast shared by the Plymouth colonists from England and Native Americans in 1621, although nowadays across the USA, it’s more of an excuse to get family and friends together, eat turkey and put marshmallows on sweet potatoes and watch NFL games. As I’m sure many of you are Americans living and studying in London, I thought I’d do some research for you and create a list of places to eat and drink on Thanksgiving in London. There is a mix of cheap Thanksgiving dinner spots and slightly more expensive. It is a big celebration after all!
