Where To Celebrate St Patrick’s Day In London

Few feast days spark as much revelry as St Patrick’s Day, a celebration of the patron saint of Ireland. Every year on 17 March, thousands of people come together donning green outfits and shamrock face paint to mark the day with parades, traditional Irish food and of course plenty of Guinness. Naturally, festivities are particularly lively across Ireland, but Londoners can get involved too, with many bars and restaurants throwing special parties for the occasion. Here’s where to get involved with St Patrick’s Day in London in 2026.

St Patrick’s Day 2026: Parties & Menus In London

Langan’s Brasserie, Mayfair

Head to Mayfair institution Langan’s on Tuesday 17 March, where St Patrick’s Day is being marked with a dinner and live entertainment. Diners can tuck into a set menu centred around Irish produce: first up is a selection of canapes such as smoked salmon rillette and soda bread, followed by starters of leek and potato soup, oysters and Dublin Bay prawn cocktail. For the main event, there’s lamb stew or clover and asparagus risotto, finishing in the best way: with a generous slice of Guinness chocolate cake.

Upstairs at The Coral Room, meanwhile, guests can sip champagne and tuck into Irish bar bites. Meanwhile, menus are being infused with Irish flavours throughout March: at Dalloway Terrace, for instance, there’s a special Irish chowder dish, with Guinness cake being served throughout the hotel.
