London itinerary - Holidays edition

We are all planning our travel for 2023, so let this be my case for London for the Christmas time! The lights are beautiful, there is hot chocolate all around and the weather isn't as cold as Germany! Whom am I to say so, I have now coincidentally spent some part of December in London for the past few years1

Activities

• Free
  • Watching the Christmas Lights at Carnaby and Regent Street. Take it up a notch by grabbing a hot chocolate before you start walking!
  • Christmas tree viewing in fancy hotel lobbies around the city (e.g. Savoy, Ritz)
  • Rooftop viewing at Sky Garden - a public garden viewing point
• Paid
  • Christmas at Kew Gardens - a night light display at Kew Gardens. Remember to buy these tickets well beforehand as they sell out!
  • Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park - a theme park built at Hyde Park, with drinks, food, rides and games!
  • Skating at Somerset House - be prepared to fall. A lot!

Food and Drinks

• Grab Afternoon tea at places like Fortnum & Mason, the Ritz or indulge in the mother of all afternoon teas at the Langham!
• Hot Chocolate - Indulge in a hot chocolate experience at Knoops where you get to pick the chocolate you want going into your hot chocolate! Yum!
