ITINERARY
Day 1:
We pick you up on arrival and take you to your carefully chosen hotel in central London. Staying in the centre is key to success to your Christmas vacation as you don’t want to waste time travelling back and forth. We book your perfect stay for you and make sure you will stay in a hotel full of character and atmosphere.
Settle and find your bearings first before exploring the city with us on your London Intro Walk. See the main sites on a gentle walk, find out how things work and catch some first sights of the sparkling Christmas lights. Be amazed by the beautifully lit up centre and the beautifully decorated shop windows of Regent Street.
The festive atmosphere transforms the city into a fairy-tale dreamland.
Day 2:
Visit the historic Tower of London and learn all its rich, sometimes bloody, and eventful history. Travel back to town by riverboat and see the city from a totally different perspective. Visit the iconic Westminster Abbey which is wonderfully decorated for Christmas.
Afterwards relax on one many London’s Christmas markets. We recommend the Southbank Centre Winter Market. A riverside Christmas market with crafts, food, and entertainment set against the spectacular backdrop of Westminster. Stroll past the wooden chalets along the river and try some mulled wine or delicious, sweet treats…
Then visit Covent Garden, known for its giant Christmas tree, festive decorations, and small market stalls.
End the day and warm up in one of London’s historic pubs, many of which are beautifully decorated for the season. We recommend you the most atmospheric ones.
Day 3:
Depending on your travelling dates, attend carol services at iconic locations like St Paul’s Cathedral or Westminster Abbey. The Royal Albert Hall also hosts festive concerts.
Many attractions are closed on Christmas Day, but you can enjoy a peaceful walk-through central London, visit parks like Hyde Park. Or celebrate in your hotel with your loved ones.
We also recommend dining in your hotel. Some restaurants also offer special Christmas menus but booking way in advance is key. We make sure either way that you will have am amazing Christmas dinner.
Also, there is no public transportation on the 25th December. If you arrive on this day we arrange a transfer for you. Staying in centre is key too. Just talk to us and we guarantee you a seamless service.
Day 4:
Many events and activities require booking in advance, especially during the busy festive season. We make sure that you won’t miss out on anything.
If you like it loud and colourful, check out the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. A massive Christmas fair with rides, an ice rink, circus shows, a Christmas market, and plenty of food and drink stalls.
Alternatively, Christmas at Kew is a more relaxed and distinguished activity to do whilst on Christmas vacation in London. A beautiful light trail through Kew Gardens with stunning illuminations, installations, and festive music.
Or hit the shops on Boxing Day, 26th December, when the Christmas sale attracts bargain hunters and shoppers from all over.
