Thanksgiving in the UK

 

This North American holiday is a time for gratitude, family, and feasting. It stems from a harvest celebration by early settlers and is usually marked by a large meal featuring turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie.

While Thanksgiving isn’t a holiday in the UK, the concept of giving thanks and spending time with family is universal. Thanksgiving also marks the beginning of the holiday season, which will be in full swing across the British Isles well before Black Friday arrives.

Families can enjoy quality time together at The Resident’s centrally located hotels, which put the best of the city’s family-friendly experiences within easy reach. Whether it’s a walk up to Arthur’s seat in Edinburgh, a glitzy West End show in London, or one of Liverpool’s many museums, there’s something for every generation.

Edinburgh Escapes

Take the slow lane as you wander Edinburgh’s Old Town and Royal Mile together, or head to the Gallery of Modern Art to provoke an interesting conversation. Edinburgh has some fabulous eateries that provide the perfect backdrop for a family get-together, many within easy reach of The Resident. Opt for locally sourced Scottish cuisine at Forage & Chatter, or head to The Bon Vivant for a luxurious Sunday roast together.

Thanksgiving on the North Coast

Liverpool is another cultural hotspot where families can explore museums galore—from Tate Liverpool to the Maritime Museum. Stroll around the Albert Dock or take the ferry across the Mersey to view The Three Graces on Liverpool’s famous waterfront. Teens can tuck into American-style burgers at Red Dog Saloon, while Wreck Bistro is perfect for a family celebration.

London is Calling This Autumn

Families love our four London locations, which put the best of the capital on your doorstep. Buzzing Covent Garden offers a vibrant mix of theatre, dining, and attractions, while Kensington is perfect for Royal Parks and the city’s most prominent museums.

 

Trendy Soho is the place to be for West End shows and has an endless selection of restaurants and bars. The Resident Victoria puts Buckingham Palace and St. James’ Park merely steps away. Whether you choose to cruise the Thames with afternoon tea or head to Harrods for some seasonal extravagance, there is plenty to keep you, and your family, occupied.
