Top things to do at Christmas in London

Here at Boutique London Lets we have put together a guide with the best things to do in London this Christmas. 

Ice Skating 

Get your skates on and choose your best outdoor ice rinks to visit. Here you can find a complete guide. 

The Nutcracker – Royal Opera House

One magical Christmas Eve, young Clara creeps downstairs to retrieve her favourite present, but a mysterious magician, Drosselmeyer, is waiting to sweep her off on a magical adventure. Every year, the show cements itself further as one of the best loved (and most accessible) of ballets. 

Carols by Candlelight – Royal Albert Hall 

If there is anything that is guaranteed to get you in the festive mood, it’s a Christmas carol service – and there is nowhere more impressive than one by candlelight at the Royal Albert Hall. 

Christmas Markets and Fairs

Head out and get your shopping done in festive style at a selection of Christmas markets and Fairs in London. They suit all tastes!

Reindeer Lodge at London Zoo 

Santa will be waiting to greet children in his winter lodge, a custom-designed grotto built in the fairytale setting from mid-November, where they can tell him their Christmas wish-list. 

Christmas Past at Geffrye Museum

Step back through the centuries and discover the origins and meanings of some of the rich and vibrant traditions of Christmas past, from feasting, dancing and kissing under the mistletoe to playing parlour games, hanging up stockings, sending cards, decorating the tree and throwing cocktail parties.

London Architecture Walks

You will have a fantastic opportunity to see London as you have never seen it before taking a magical night tour through London’s glittering streets this December and see some of the world’s best Christmas street illuminations and displays. 

… Happy Christmas everyone!
