Activities and Attractions to Cover in your Upcoming Trip to the European Capital

London is a popular destination for its city culture, old buildings, high-end shops and world-renowned celebrities like the Queen herself. It’s a favorite among solo travellers and honeymooning couples. However, the said European capital is not just for couples and single adults. The city is for kids and kids at heart, too.

If you think Christmas party venues north London are the only attractions worth visiting during the holidays, you’re wrong. The following are activities and attractions you should try and visit when you go on a holiday trip to the city:

West End Christmas Lights

Christmas lights are essentials during the holiday season. London streets are lively all year round but they become extra brighter during Christmas, all thanks to the decorative lights of the season. West End is a must-visit place, not just for the long-running musicals, but also for its holiday decors. The best part is that you don’t have to pay anything to witness the spectacle.

Trafalgar Square Christmas Decors and Carols

Every year, Norway sends a huge Christmas tree to London as a way of thanking Britain for its assistance on the war. The tree, which is often beyond 50 years old and 20 meters tall, is put in Trafalgar Square. It is decorated with lights, too. Aside from the tree, carols are also must-watch attractions in Trafalgar Square.

Fairs All Over the City

As early as November, different groups hold holiday fairs all over London. This year, notable fairs include More London Christmas Market, British Red Cross Christmas Fair and Spirit of Christmas Fair. You can shop for fashionable and decorative items there. There are toys for kids, too. It can be double your fun when you reside at hotels in North London.

Father Christmas in Department Stores

Kids will love it when they talk to Santa Claus. Santa is not just for kids, though. Adults can also meet and greet Father Christmas in London stores.

Ice Skating Rinks

Many look forward to winter season, not just for Christmas but also for its ice skating activities. You can find ice skating rinks in different parts of London. You can visit them day and night from mid-November to mid-January.
