London is super beautiful during Xmas. Just walk along Oxford Street or Covent Garden and you will see the most beautiful Christmas decorations. If you feel like having an even larger dose of Xmas, head over to one of London’s Christmas markets. Just between Tower Bridge and London Bridge there is a lovely little Xmas market with lots of food, mulled wine and crafts – all set in 64 German style wooden cabins. The Christmas Market starts at the City Hall and then continues past HMS Belfast to Hays Gallery which is also beautifully decorated. The Xmas market is open everyday until 7 pm. Visiting this Xmss market not only gives you a jolly Christmas feeling but also ticks off two of the must-see sights in London :) Once you have walked along the Xmas stalls from Tower Bridge to London Bridge you could either have a cocktail in one of the bars up The Shard with a beautiful view of London or continue walking along the river and head to the Southbank Centre Christmas market.

I need to plan a trip very soon. Better in the summer or winter?
Depends what you are after and your other travel plans. It’s either summer or Xmas but no other time actually. It’s beautiful during the period before Xmas and it’s amazing when it’s warm. But the rest of the year it is just not blessed with good weather. So take July, August or December. X
