Ah, I happened to pick up some Wood Silk the other day. Like most furniture polishes though, it says "not for use on untreated wood including scratches" or something similar. So I'm a bit worried about the patch where the varnish appears to have worn or weathered off. That Briwax stuff looks like the business, and according to the website the place on Lordship Lane stocks it, so might wait and get that. This also looks good - http://cambridgetraditionalproducts.co.uk/beeswax-furniture-polish/
I have a block of beeswax for general purposes, is that good to start with on bare wood / where I've taken the varnish down a bit, or does the other stuff in polish help?

I'm not an expert... What I'd do is go over it with fine wire wool and then apply a neutral wax such as Briwax or Wood Silk. I've had good results with the latter on a veneered table which got water damaged.
