Christmas things to do in London

London is a treasure trove of festivities come Christmastime, with a whole host of Christmas markets, winter wonderlands and Santa’s Grottos to explore. We’d recommend booking a Christmas lights tour, so you can see all the best parts of the city in one trip, and all lit up in its festive finery!

For those who want to try something different, book a Christmas theatre show in London’s West End. Or for something truly traditional, enjoy a Christmas Eve dinner complete with a memorable Midnight Mass in a historic church.
