Christmas in London pops up pretty quickly and I personally love it. After an outstandingly hot summer I think we're all ready for a bit of cozying up and crisp winter air. This post outlines my favorite Christmas activities in the big city as there's so much on offer and a lot of these aren't too expensive either.
The Winter Forest at Broadgate
Tucked away behind Liverpool Street station, this winter forest is the perfect pine scented Christmas activity. Expect to be surrounded by Christmas trees and indulge in mulled wine, rum cocktails and blankets. I went last year after coming back from Norwich and it was the perfect welcome back into the city.
Skylight London
Based in Tobacco Dock, this winter oasis is perfect for those looking for a winter rooftop. With an ice rink, ice hockey, street food and a killer view of the city, Skylight is an incredibly impressive and unique evening out.
Lights, lights and more lights
One of the most magical things about Christmas in London is the lights. Head to Carnaby street to find the lyrics to Bohemian Rhapsody, or Regent street to find angels. Wherever you look there is something twinkling, but the more central areas certainly have the most impressive lights.
The John Lewis winter rooftop in Oxford Street
This cosmopolitan gem is tucked away on top of Oxford Street's John Lewis. In partnership with Sipsmith gin, you can expect to find hot G&Ts and sloe gin on this magical rooftop in the city's shopping oasis.
The Natural History Museum
For one of the most beautiful buildings and an impressive ice rink, head to The Natural History Museum for a Hogwort-esq experience. Not only is there the ice rink with mulled wine served on the side, but the museum itself is an incredible place to visit.
Harrods and Fortnum and Mason
I definitely don't have the money to spend at either of these places, however during the Christmas period they are so worth visiting. Immerse yourself in the luxurious displays of both and if you can afford it indulge in their fantastic products.
Obviously there are plenty of other activities to do during the Christmas period, but these are some of my highlights and are the perfect way to make you feel merry.
