| Christmas in London |
|
Many cities around the world pride themselves on a spectacular NYE fireworks exhibition. Times Square in New York is where many revellers want to see out an old year, and welcome a new one, and so is Sydney Harbour. But some other cities are worth considering when you make your December holiday bookings.
London prides itself on putting on a good show, and after all, it has the perfect setting with the river and bridges and grand old buildings. Find out more about what to do in London this Christmas with this guide to 101 Things to do in London This Christmas.
London is a good city to be in a couple of weeks earlier too. The Christmas markets are great places to find beautiful and unique gifts, too, from jewellery and crafts, to fashion and toys. At some Christmas markets you can also hear carol singing, go on fairground rides and sample traditional Christmas treats such as mince pies. London's Christmas markets range from large German Christmas markets such as Winter Wonderland and the South Bank, to smaller Christmas fairs.
You could be forgiven for thinking that in winter, London turns into a giant skating rink. Ice skating is one of London's favourite winter pastimes, especially in the run up to Christmas. There are several permanent indoor and outdoor ice skating rinks in London, but in winter you'll find even more popping up across the capital.
Eyeskate at the London Eye...
...or get your ice skates on at iconic locations such as the historic Hampton Court Palace, the stunning surrounds of Somerset House and top shopping destinations such as Westfield London. The outdoor ice rink at Hampton Court offers spectacular views of the magnificent Palace that Henry VIII once lived in. Book an evening session to see the palace lit up after dark while you skate under the evening stars! And what better way to counteract all those rich and delicious cold-weather dishes that come with Christmas and New Year! |
