If you’re spending Christmas in London, you have a wide variety of festive activities to choose from.
London’s Christmas markets and seasonal ice skating rinks are one of the highlights of spending Christmas in London. From Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland to the famous ice skating rink at Somerset House, there are enough Christmas activities to keep you in the holiday spirit throughout the Christmas season.
Another highlight of spending Christmas in London is the decorative lights at Oxford Circus and Carnaby Street. Each year there is a different theme, and the lights and other decorations are more and more elaborate. This year the lights are sponsored by the movie A Christmas Carol, and Carnaby Street is full of giant inflated animal figures.
Many churches in London hold a special Christmas services on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, and during the run up to Christmas there are many carol services at churches and theatres throughout London.
Christmas dinner in London is a tradition, and many pubs and restaurants offer special Christmas menus. Make sure to book in advance, though, as spaces fill up quickly at Christmastime.
