What to do in London at Christmas

Looking for things to do in London this Christmas? We have some great suggestions of London attractions, markets and other interesting things to see around Christmas time.

Attractions

London attractions are as good at Christmas as they are any other time of the year. Many attractions that you can visit for free with a London Pass even include special exhibitions and activities.

The Tower of London (27 December – 31 January 2010) hosts a merry medieval Christmas with music, dancing, feasting, drinking and games.  You can also try the stunning Ice Rink situated in the Tower’s moat.  (Ice skating is at an additional cost and booking is advisable).

Get creative at Kensington Palace (28-31 December 2009) and make your own Victorian Christmas cards, crackers and decorations to take home.

This December London Bridge Experience invites you to encounter the darker side of the festive season in their special Christmas Show “Christmas Nightmare”. Take a journey through the historical, yet hysterical, Christmas time tunnel, courtesy of a ghostly Ebenezer Scrooge.

Markets

All over the city, Christmas markets of all kinds are popping up. Packed with gift ideas and fantastic food stalls these markets are worth checking out.

For a market brimming to the ceiling with designer, retro and handmade gifts head east to Brick Lane’s Truman Brewery, where you will find the ‘All I Want for Xmas’ market.

Experience a traditional German market at the Cologne Christmas Market on the Southbank. Old fashion wooden and tin toys, intricate glass Christmas tree ornaments and many more Christmassy products are on sale as well as traditional German bratwursts for hungry shoppers.

Dining out

At the end of a busy day, relax and enjoy a discounted meal courtesy of the London Pass at a Top London Restaurant.
