Twixmas in London has a magic of its own. The city slows down, the crowds thin out, and suddenly there’s time to wander, time to catch up, time to eat something that isn’t a leftover turkey sandwich.

If you’re heading into London between Christmas and New Year, here’s your guide to the best things to do… and why brunch at Lantana should be top of your list.

We’re open 27 December – 4 January, 9am–5pm (kitchen 4pm) across Fitzrovia, Shoreditch and London Bridge, right where you’re likely to be exploring anyway.

1. FITZROVIA: FOR CULTURE, COFFEES & A LANTANA BRUNCH THAT WAKES YOU UP

Fitzrovia is the perfect Twixmas neighbourhood. Central but calm, cultured without the queues.

What to do nearby

• Wander around Charlotte Street and the independent boutiques
• Take a slow stroll to the British Museum
• Catch a film at the Everyman
• Explore the quiet corners of Bloomsbury

Where brunch fits in

Our Fitzrovia café sits right in the middle of it all.
Start with a Matchatini or a flat white, then dive into dishes built for slow days:

• Corn Fritters with halloumi or bacon
• Mushroom & Halloumi (one of London’s best veggie brunches)
• Passionfruit French Toast that tastes like summer in December

If you’re Googling best Twixmas brunch near Oxford Street, this is it.

2. SHOREDITCH: GALLERIES, STREET ART & A BRUNCH WORTH CROSSING TOWN FOR

Shoreditch has energy even when the rest of London is half-asleep. If you’re out for Twixmas browsing, exploring or catching up with friends, this is your area.

Things to do nearby

• Explore Redchurch Street shopping
• Visit Brick Lane Market (still lively between Christmas & NY)
• Wander through Columbia Road
• Duck into independent galleries

Why Lantana Shoreditch is the move

You need fuel, proper, feel-good, colourful plates:

• The Full Lantana (Twixmas recovery mode = ON)
• Crispy Chicken French Toast — unapologetically brilliant
• Nasi Goreng if your body is begging for something green + spicy

Add a Kimchi Bloody Mary, because balance.

3. LONDON BRIDGE: TWIXMAS WALKS, RIVERSIDE VIEWS & BRUNCH INTO DINNER

• Explore Tate Modern
• Visit the Sky Garden or The Shard
• Browse independent stalls around Vinegar Yard
