It's a London Christmas affair

26th October 2017

Nothing compares to the charm of London during Christmas. Christmas and London go together like gravy and roast dinner. There’s something magical about this city, evident throughout its carefully decorated streets, where streets bustle and the smell of Christmas food lingers.

The magic of Christmas hits London in full force this November and there’s so much to do and see, which is why we pulled together some Christmas activities that shouldn’t be missed…
