Ahmed Bin Abdulqader ـ nabd–alhadath
There is nothing quite like London during the festive season, and with winter in the northern hemisphere firmly on the doorstep, The Mandrake in London is showcasing its unique seasonal flair with décor that evokes a sense of drama and enchantment leading up to the end of the year. With its blend of luxury, culture, art, and serenity, The Mandrake is more than just a place to rest your head—it’s an invitation to explore a different side of London.
Wander & Wonder
This November, The Mandrake reopened its beloved Jurema Terrace with an enchanting transformation into the Jurema Winter Garden, a breathtaking winter wonderland in the heart of Fitzrovia. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in the beauty of a white Christmas-inspired dreamscape, where frosted branches, delicate winter florals and softly lit fairy lights create an intimate, romantic ambiance.
Designed as a cozy escape from the bustling city, the Jurema Winter Garden features a one-of-a-kind glass structure that shields guests from the winter chill while offering stunning, uninterrupted views of Jurema’s iconic hanging garden. Faux-fur blankets, candlelit tables and cozy seating add warmth and comfort to this exquisite winter retreat, creating an inviting setting for romantic evenings, friendly gatherings, or serene moments of holiday relaxation.
Guests can indulge in a new seasonal food menu, featuring dishes like Smoked Ricotta Ravioli with Pumpkin & Truffle, Grilled Halibut with Butter Beans, Chorizo & Cabbage, and Tres Leches Cake with White Chocolate & Clementine and a decadent Smoked Dark Chocolate Mousse with Mango & Chilli — perfectly complementing the festive season.
To accompany these dishes, the Jurema Winter Garden introduces an exciting range of winter cocktails, including mulled wine, hot toddies and artfully crafted creations from the talented
Waeska mixologists. Each cocktail is designed to reflect the cozy, warming spirit of the season, offering guests the perfect sip for a winter escape.
