Ultimate wintery spots to enjoy in London

The best hangouts in London to embrace the festive season in style

Turn up your festive spirit a notch or two at London’s winter hideaways, both cosy and magical...

 

Cosy up at Dalloway Terrace

With seasonally changing installations, Dalloway Terrace always has something exciting for both new and returning guests to look forward to. The last autumnal installation transformed the cosy hideaway inside The Bloomsbury into a mystical cove of honeycomb leaves, brushed gold butterflies and pinecones. Their winter installation doesn’t disappoint - a Swiss-inspired look to replicate Gstaad for guests to cosy up in. Be enchanted with the restaurant’s snow tipped pine trees and rustic cow bells and allow yourself to be transported to the Alps.

Dine on a themed winter menu, including cheese fondue and rosti, or opt for the ‘winter-ised’ afternoon tea. Make sure you don’t miss the new winter warmer cocktails such as the delectable ‘Golden Pass Express’, served with a Retro Image Viewer with snowy alpine views.
