Arguably the best part of Christmas is the food! But we don’t always have the time to whip up course after course of deliciousness!  A few fantastic restaurants in London are open on the big day but remember to book in advance to avoid disappointment.  Here are our top picks of where to find a big fat plate of turkey and stuffing on December 25 th . Dean Street Townhouse 69-71 Dean Street, London, W1D 3SE Price: £95 This Soho all-dayer is always pretty buzzy, but its Georgian rooms are particularly suited for twinkly festive gatherings. At £95, it’s at the pricier end of Christmas Day meals, but this includes an introductory glass of champagne, and coffee, mince pies and truffles to finish.

Turkey and Christmas pud are on offer for traditionalists. T: 020 7434 1775 W...
