“Destination Christmas”… London… And Ten Of The Best Things To Do

Are you coming to London for the holidays?

Thinking about how to see the most of the city and enjoy the festivities?

There is so much to see and enjoy right now… the city has never looked prettier or felt more festive.

 

Here are some of my suggestions…

 

Selfridges, London - Vicki Archer

 

1. Ice Skating at Somerset House or the Natural History Museum… skate against magnificent British backdrops.

2. The Reindeer Lodge at London Zoo

3. ‘The Nutcracker’ at the Royal Opera House

6. London Magical Tour... see the city by private car or mini bus… and fall under London’s holiday spell.

Hop on and hop off the double decker red bus… see the House of Parliament, Tower Bridge, The Victoria and Albert Museum… The Globe Theatre… as many London icons as you can fit in 48 hours.

8. Carols by Candlelight at Albert Hall… count your way down to Christmas with the Mozart Festival Orchestra in 18th Century costume.
