Overview

Christmas in London has a unique charm all of its own. Anticipation becomes even more palpable as dusk slowly gives way to nightfall. Shoppers begin to gather and carollers fill the air with joyful music as they wish peace and goodwill to all men, women and children, and as you wander through the jolly, colourful streets, your guide will describe the background surrounding some of London's best-known seasonal customs and traditions. Night time is when you will be able to marvel and wonder at the magical Christmas lights illuminating some of the most famous streets and squares in the British capital, such as Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden. The fantastic Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, the last stop on this wonderful tour, is one of the best things to do in London at Christmas. It features a vast selection of festive entertainment and activities. This unforgettable tour is the ideal way to soak up the festive atmosphere and get ready for Christmas!

What To Expect

Strand

The Strand can lay more than one claim to fame with regard to illumination. The Savoy Theatre was the first public building in the world to be permanently lit by electricity, and the Victoria Embankment had the world's first ever street lights. The Strand didn't actually have Christmas lights until 2015, but since then, stretching from the world famous Trafalgar Square Christmas tree to the beautiful St Mary le Strand Church, they have been extremely popular.
