15 outstanding London restaurants for special occasions

by Shekha Vyas
Updated 21 November 2023
Long praised for the must-visit museums and can’t-miss theatre that make it an international cultural centre, London is also rich in restaurants of all sorts, including spots to celebrate special occasions.
A chic sushi place in Kensington was made for wooing a special someone. For raucous reunions, there’s a crowd-friendly American grill in Covent Garden. In Westminster, a swanky Indian spot is a no-brainer for milestone birthdays and anniversaries.
London’s most outstanding restaurants for celebrating are highly sought-after destinations—so book your table at one of these 15 places now.
