Twixmas Brunch in LondonWhere to go, what to do, & why brunch at Lantana should be first on your list

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

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

Add a Kimchi Bloody Mary, because balance.
