Christmas in London

Living in or visiting London? Enjoy the most magical time of the year: wander through the twinkling lights in the streets, the magical colours flooding the trees and admire the festive decorations in shop windows. Listen to choirs and other entertainment. Shop till you drop and taste delectable meals from around the world. You will certainly enjoy a very merry atmosphere. Be safe😷
