"The vast amount of things to do in London at Christmas draws in hundreds of thousands of visitors each year - and tempts residents out to pastures unexplored in search of festive fun. Typically chilled-out shopping streets and squares across the city transform into sprawling Christmas markets scented by roasted chestnuts and mulled wine, where vendors rustle up other sweet treats and crafty souls sell their wares."
"Some big-hitters - see Camden Market, Winter Wonderland and the South Bank - are bucket list London attractions for good reason, but you'll benefit from visiting off-peak once yuletide mania truly hits the city. Otherwise, there are plenty of Christmas events in London's leafier suburbs, from wholesome markets to ceramic workshops. Here, we list the events and attractions the editors at Condé Nast Traveller have their eye on."
London becomes a major festive destination each Christmas, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors and drawing residents to explore seasonal attractions. Shopping streets and public squares convert into sprawling Christmas markets scented with roasted chestnuts and mulled wine, where vendors sell sweet treats and handmade goods. Iconic markets and events such as Camden Market, Winter Wonderland and the South Bank offer bucket-list experiences, best enjoyed off-peak to avoid crowds. Leafier suburbs host wholesome markets, workshops and quieter festive activities. Theatre shows, restaurant reservations and afternoon teas require advance booking during the busy season.
