Thistle Holborn

In Central London, Thistle Holborn offers a calm, considered pause from the energy of the city outside, where familiar British comforts are delivered with care and a light, contemporary touch.

The menu balances sweet and savoury with ease. Eton Mess arrives with crushed berries and cream in playful contrast, while Victoria sponge delivers soft layers and a nostalgic hit of jam. Savoury bites follow, with crisp cucumber finger sandwiches alongside smoked salmon and cream cheese, offering clean flavours that keep things elegant and restrained. Freshly baked all butter scones, both fruit and plain, are served warm, ready for generous spoonfuls of English strawberry and raspberry preserves and Cornish clotted cream.

For those marking the moment, a thoughtful selection of Champagne and sparkling wines is available. Lanson Père Et Fils brings golden bubbles with notes of ripe fruit, honey and spice, while Lanson Rosé offers delicate salmon hues and bright berry character. Coffee drinkers are equally well catered for, with americanos and lattes providing a modern counterpoint.

Thistle creates a setting that feels relaxed and welcoming. Book in, take your seat, and let the moment unfold at its own pace.
