CHRISTMAS IN LONDON | Things To Do In 3-4 Days (A Suggested Itinerary From Our Trip)

Christmas in London is a magical experience! This video covers things to do in London at Christmas, such as the best Christmas light displays, festive events like Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, Christmas at Kew Gardens & Hogwarts in the Snow, & of course, Christmas markets.
This video shares how we spent 4 days in London at Christmas (including costs and practical information) so whether you are considering a Christmas trip to London or just want to get in the holiday spirit then I hope you enjoy this video.

We start our London Christmas trip with Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, showing you rides, food and drink, the Magical Ice Kingdom and Cirque Berserk. We follow this with a walk around Christmas lights around Mayfair: Oxford Street, Bond Street, South Molton Street, St Christopher’s Place, Regent Street and Carnaby Street.

Our second day starts at Leadenhall Market and the Sky Garden before walking along the River Thames to two Christmas Markets: Christmas by the River and South Bank Winter Market. We end the night with a visit to the festive light trail, Christmas at Kew Gardens.

Day 3 is spent at the Making of Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio tour, which is extra special in the run up to Christmas due to the seasonal Hogwarts in the Snow takeover. We then visit Covent Gardens for decorations and snow.

Our final day involves a museum visit followed by a cheese conveyor belt restaurant (because Cheese is Christmassy, right?!).

Nothing beats London in Christmas! I don’t miss the crazy busy crowds on Oxford Street though 😂 we actually moved out of London last year for a sunnier Christmas, but it’s nice to watch videos from home 🙏🙌

In 2019 I decided that I, a Canadian in Ontario, needed to check out London at Christmas. Im a senior and I typically spend 2 weeks in hostels wandering around London every 2 years but I'd never gone in December. I figured London would do Christmas better than anywhere!!! I wasn't disappointed. From the Great British Christmas Pudding Race at Covent Garden to enjoying warm mince pies whilst watching A Chrismas Carol at The Old Vic, Carols by Candle at St. Martin's at the Field, and a medieval Christmas banquet at St Katherine's Dock. It was all so magical and wonderful! It was so much more than I expected!!

Your voice is so calming and I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Would you mind sharing the playlist of songs you used in this email? Every song was divine. Looking forward to watching your other videos!

Absolutely wonderful! Thanks so much for taking the time to make such a fab video while also packing in so much. I absolutely adore London at any time of the year but especially so at Christmas. My hubby's a Londoner and I lived there for five years. We moved away in 1992 but still get back whenever we can. This has brought back so many happy memories of London Christmases past and introduced us to many new things. You have a real talent for these fun, fact-filled vids!

Awwww, this video made me so happy! Christmas markets in London, Prague, and Erfurt are at the very top of our bucket list! Fingers crossed we can get to London next Christmas to see family and experience all these markets, rides, lights, and everything wonderful the city has to offer. You have some fantastic info in here and we really loved your music choice too. Great video. Cheers!
