Family favourites include Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park, Winterville on Clapham Common, The Christmas Lights on Regents Street, Harrods, and Hamleys.

Christmas Markets
Walking around a Christmas market with the family, is something everyone can enjoy. With Christmas Music in the background, beautiful stalls, unique gifts, and Christmas Food and of course some Mulled Wine or Cider, can put a smile on everyone’s face. Lee Valley Christmas Market is a good family pick.
Meeting Santa
Book Christmas Grotto early, the queues can be crazy. Many popular ones maybe full already so be organised. We are lucky to have one of the best, Christmas Wonderland at Springtime Nurseries of Crews Hill, on our doorstep. Pearsons, Van Hage and Santa Spectacular at Willows Farm are brilliant too.
