1. A fancy French Christmas dinner venue: Le Vert, L'Escargot

Soho, London

For a very French Christmas meal (minus the hasty Eurostar trip), head to Greek Street’s L’Escargot. The long-standing restaurant and private members club has served the finest French cuisine to guests (public figures and the general public alike), just a few years shy of a century. Think baked lobster, coq au vin and some of the best wines Soho has to offer.


Christmas dinners can be hosted in their 36-person private dining room, Le Vert, which as expected is a pistachio-coloured room – accented with decorative ceilings, a grand chandelier and accented curtains and chairs.


Expect a festive menu du jour of stuffed roast turkey, Christmas puddings, a special cheese platter, and of course lots of wine. Santé!

Soho, London

What do you get when you combine an NYC-inspired menu, a laid-back venue and old-school tunes? A Dirty Bones Christmas.
