Christmas is a great time to get out and about and participate in some of the various food, drink & leisure activities taking place around the capital.

 

We have put together a list highlighting our top 5 things to do.

 

1. Winter Wonderland is a lot of fun for the whole family, with rides & rollercoasters the kids and good food, drink and live music for the adults. Be sure to visit the ice rink while you are there!

 

2. Enjoy a Victorian Christmas at Kensington Palace. Experience festive music, talks on Christmas traditions and food, lantern-making workshops and more. Kensington Palace is the perfect place to spend a special Christmas day out with the family this festive season, and to top it all off, KIDS GO FREE.

 

3. Be dazzled by the Diamond in the Sky Afternoon Tea at Searcys at the Gherkin. As part of the diamond-themed afternoon tea, all guests will be given a champagne flute with a crystal at the bottom; but one lucky winner will find a real diamond! 

 

4. Step into an environment where the walls, bar, tables and even your own personal glass is made of the purest ice. ICEBAR LONDON is the UK’s only permanent bar made of ice and is kept at -5°C all year round.

 

5. Let Bompas & Parr take you on a fantastical journey this Christmas. Beyond The Waterfall will mix mythology, fairytales and science fiction to create a grown-up holiday treat. Your adventure will begin as you step aboard a small boat to traverse a 20m lagoon, passing through a real waterfall to reach an enchanted island on a quest involving gemstones, mythological beasts and undersea cocktails.

 

6. Visit Oxford Street in the evening for a spot of Christmas Shopping underneath it's world famous Christmas lights.
