Winter Wonderland


Winter Wonderland is the city’s premier stomping ground for fun-seekers during the festive season. Located in Hyde Park, this conglomeration of cheery stalls, fairground rides, ice skating, Santa’s grottos, and warm winter victuals is a highlight of any visit to London in December. The show is on from mid-November all the way through to 1 January 2018.

Special attractions for 2017 include ice and snow sculptures, karaoke huts, Cinderella on Ice, an observation wheel and Zippos Christmas Circus.

 

Lighting up London


The city is alight with festive decorations during December. The best ones can be seen all along Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, Bond Street, Seven Dials, Kingston, St James Market and Covent Gardens.

Expect bigger grander and more inventive displays of golden, white and coloured globes than you have ever seen, anywhere. These gorgeous creations are enough reason to visit the city alone!

 

Ice Skating


During wintertime, ice-skating is practically a national pastime and London have several places where you can indulge.

The Natural History Museum, Somerset House, Canary Wharf, Hyde Park, Greenwich and the rooftop parking lot at Skylight. All of these venues offer gorgeous views of the city lights and some even feature Christmas trees as part of the set up.

 

Markets


As one of the world’s premier shopping destinations, you will find no shortage of ways to fill your Christmas stocking in malls and boutiques around town.

If you prefer a more personal approach to your Christmas shopping, head for one of the city markets on London Bridge, at Southbank Centre, at the Ritzy, Leicester Square, Winterville or the big ones at Winter Wonderland and Olympia.

Exquisite hand-made crafts, designer items and delicious street food are all available at these sociable events.

 

Theatre and Concerts

Pantomimes are all the rage at Christmas time, but you will also find carol concerts, kiddies’ plays, family shows, alternative productions, opera and dance productions.

 

Eating Out


London is one of the world’s food capitals with a glut of fine restaurants to choose from for your festive meals. You can count on finding a hearty traditional dinner at almost every pub and restaurant too.

Some of the advertised feasts include a roast dinner at Bar Boulud and The Colony, an Indian version of Christmas lunch at Cinnamon and Darbaar restaurant, classic British dishes at Dean Street Townhouse and 6-courses of French cuisine at The Connaught’s Hélène Darroze restaurant.
