London comes to life in a whole new way during the holiday season, and Christmas is one of our favourite times to visit the city. During the lead up to Christmas, you’ll find endless events and entertainment offerings throughout the city, all of which will make you feel like you are in the middle of a winter wonderland. Today we’re going to share some of the best things to do in London this Christmas season, so that you can make the most of your time when staying with us. We recommend booking your Christmas stay as soon as possible, so that you don’t miss out on experiencing the city at this time of the year.
Ice Skating Rinks Throughout the city, you’ll find various ice skating rinks to enjoy during November and December. No matter which of our hotels you are staying at, you’ll find an option nearby that will be just a short distance away. This is one of our favourite activities to get you in the festive mood and is fun for kids and adults alike.
Oxford Street and Regent Street Lights No trip to London in December is complete without seeing the Oxford Street and Regent Street Christmas lights. When the sun goes down, the streets light up in a spectacular fashion. We are always excited to see what theme they’ll have for this year, and it’s a great way to kick off your Christmas celebrations by enjoying a night of late-night shopping in the city. The stores on these two streets often stay open very late at this time of the year, so after a busy day of sightseeing, you can head here for some shopping and dining. Nearest Crown Group Hotel: Bloomsbury Palace Hotel, London Tottenham Court Road
Christmas Markets Winter Wonderland is one of the most popular attractions during the Christmas period in London. It’s located close to our Bloomsbury hotels and is a great afternoon or evening out for your whole family. We recommend getting here early to avoid the crowds and to make the most of your time.
Across the city, you’ll find plenty of Christmas markets and events popping up throughout December, many of which offer local gifts and food for you to buy and try. We enjoy strolling along the Southbank as well at this time of the year, which is one of the most festive places to visit. Nearest Crown Group Hotel: Hatton Garden Hotel and Great St Helen Hotel
