If you’re staying away from home over Christmas it can be hard to recreate that same magic of waking up at home on Christmas morning. However, if you’re in London this Christmas, then one of our London serviced apartments will give you the space and flexibility to enjoy the day in your own way. While a fully equipped kitchen means you can prepare your own Christmas dinner, it may be easier for the business traveller to eat out over Christmas. We’ve rounded up some of the best restaurants in London to enjoy the best meal of the year.

It’s said to have catered to ‘colourful characters’ such as Oscar Wilde, Agatha Christie and Bing Crosby. Kettner’s set Christmas menu is £49.95 per person and includes vegetarian and vegan options. Groups of twenty-five people and under can order from the set menu on the day, but groups of over twenty-five are asked to order beforehand.
