Look, London at Christmas is like that friend who posts a perfect Instagram story every single day – you’re a bit jealous, but you can’t look away. The Oxford Street lights are basically a pilgrimage; you’ll wade through crowds, but seeing them twinkle with a hot chocolate in hand is a rite of passage. And don’t even get me started on Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park – it’s an overpriced, overstimulating wonderland of bratwurst and questionable rides that you’ll absolutely love.
For the true theatre kid energy, hit Covent Garden. The giant mistletoe installation? Cue the swooning. Plus, the carol singers there are so good they make you feel like you’re in a Hallmark movie – just with more rain and fewer improbable love triangles.
