My in-laws (wife’s brother’s family) are spending the 2022-23 academic year in London. We are visiting Thanksgiving week and will stay with them in Chiswick. Between the two families, there are three 15-16 year old kids. We arrive Monday morning and depart the following Sunday morning, so no Sunday roast. Here is what my sister-in-law has put together for the week. I welcome suggestions of restaurants and of anything glaringly missing. Thanks.
