Visiting London on the busiest Christmas shopping day of the year made me feel incredibly festive. There was a wonderful air of excitement in the air and the streets of the city centre looked beautiful as they were dressed with sparkly lights. We spent the day wandering around the Christmas Markets on London’s South Bank and seeing the lights of Oxford Street, Carnaby Street and Regent Street: some of London’s most Christmassy roads. Our special day in the city with family was the perfect way to kick start my Christmas annual leave and after enjoying the markets so much, I thought I’d talk about some of the Christmas Markets in our own capital. There are quite a few in central London which attract crowds of visitors.
Christmas by the River at London Bridge City
Half way along the path beside the market you’ll find the Hay's Galleria which hosts lots of Christmas by the River stalls. There is even a charity gift wrapping hut, where people can have their presents wrapped in exchange for a small charity donation. I think it’s a lovely idea, benefiting some worthy causes. Christmas by the River is in a fantastic location and it’s got lots of stalls for you to explore, if you’re visiting London over the festive period.

London has lots of fab Christmas Markets. It’s so nice to think that we don’t have to pay out for flights and accommodation to have a festive market experience.
Have you ever been to London at Christmas?
Thanks for reading my blog today.
