A Highland Winter Escape in the Heart of London
London (October 2025) — When the chill of winter sets in, The Churchill Bar and Terrace in Marylebone transforms into one of the capital’s most enchanting hideaways. This season, the upscale cocktail destination unveils a Highland-themed winter terrace, inspired by Sir Winston Churchill’s love of Scotland and his wife Clementine’s fondness for its untamed northern beauty.
Opening on 10th November 2025, the terrace offers a tranquil slice of the Scottish Highlands in the heart of London — an inviting refuge for those looking to escape the festive rush and embrace fireside luxury.
The Winter Terrace: A Scottish Sanctuary in the City
This year’s Highland-inspired winter terrace brings the rugged romance of Scotland to central London. Expect a rich palette of red and burnt orange, twinkling fairy lights, and faux fur throws draped over plush seating — all designed to create a warm, intimate atmosphere evocative of a cabin retreat in the Cairngorms.
The Churchill Bar and Terrace’s design pays homage to the natural beauty of rural Scotland, with subtle woodland touches, candlelit corners, and an air of timeless sophistication. Guests can sip cocktails beneath the glow of lanterns while wrapped in soft blankets — the perfect spot to toast to the season in true Churchillian style.
The ‘Dundee’ Cocktail: A Festive Tribute to Churchill
To mark the festive season, The Churchill Bar and Terrace has reintroduced one of its most beloved winter tipples: the ‘Dundee’ cocktail, a drink inspired by Winston Churchill’s favourite fruit cake.
A decadent blend of Hine Cognac, Pedro Ximenez Sherry, Angostura and pecan bitters, and topped with cherry soda, this £20 creation perfectly balances sweetness and spice. Its rich, nutty profile evokes the warmth of a crackling fire and the indulgence of festive feasts — a must-try for London’s cocktail connoisseurs.
For those seeking something more classic, the bar also serves warming mulled wine, alongside a curated collection of fine spirits, wines, and champagne — ideal for festive toasts and late-night celebrations.
