Christmas Market Trips to London
London is a fantastic city to visit all year round but in December it is truly transformed into a festive extravaganza with twinkling lights, ice skating rinks, traditional markets.
At Christmas time the South Bank of the River is transformed into a wintry wonderland, where global cuisine and an artisan Christmas market come together in one sparkling location. Amble past wooden chalets which line the banks of the Thames and pick up gorgeous stocking fillers from the Winter Market. Or, tuck into some Christmas fare underneath the glittering Christmas lights.
In Hyde Park, you can truly immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere of Winter Wonderland, one of the biggest Christmas markets in London. Other locations for Christmas Markets in London include Leicester Square, London Bridge City and Greenwich. Many of these pop-up London markets appear in mid-November and stay open until the New Year
Take your choice of the London iconic sites, shows and attractions with a touch of festive atmosphere your students will love.
