Overview

Since the 1950’s the Christmas lights in central London have helped inspire the magic of Christmas. Families from across the world have taken time out of their busy festive schedules to travel to London to see the Christmas lights and the annually changing window displays of the grand London Department Stores such as Fortnum and Mason, and Harrods. In fact, seeing these lights is as much a Christmas tradition as shops that are stuffed like Turkeys, Mince Pies, and Mulled Wine.

But why brave the wild winter air, get wet, and catch a chill when you can see all the best bits of London’s Christmas Lights from the comfort of a London Cab? Starting and finishing at a central London location of your choice, this tour keeps you warm and dry whilst showing you the best bits of Christmas in London. Led by a knowledgeable and qualified driver/guide, they will explain the history of the Christmas Lights and Christmas window displays, as well as sharing some Christmassy London secrets.
