Thanksgiving in London 2018
Taking place annually on the fourth Thursday of November, Thanksgiving is America's most prominent traditional celebration when people pay tribute to their harvest and tuck into some fine US grub. London may be a few thousand miles from the shores of America's East Coast, but there's plenty of ex-pats, tourists and lovers of all things from the land of the free who are well catered for in the UK capital.

A cultural and religious celebration, Thanksgiving’s roots go back to a three-day feast in 1621 that saw pilgrims and Native Americans join together to commemorate their successful harvest. However, it was not to become an annual event until the Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln confirmed the national holiday a day of "thanksgiving and praise".
The 2018 celebrations fall on 22nd November 2018, and there are plenty of restaurants opening their doors to those wanting to feast on the traditional Thanksgiving turkey, potatoes and pumpkin pie.
