What To Do in London This Winter

Anyone looking for fun things to do this winter should make their way to London, as the English capital offers an extensive calendar of fun activities for all ages and interests this season.

Whether you want to visit a superb attraction with your friends, embark on romantic activities with your partner, or have some fun with your family, here are some great things to do in London this winter.

 

Make Your Way to Winterville

Winterville will once again return to London this year, but this time will be held at Clapham Common. It’s the perfect place to visit with your family or friends, as you can explore the Street Feast, visit Plonk Golf, go skating at the ice rink, walk through Solo Craft Fair Christmas Market, or watch a flick at the Backyard Cinema. Entry prices will vary from £2 to £5 from Wednesday to Monday (dependent on the time you visit), but you can enter for free every Tuesday.

Book Theatre Tickets for London’s West End

If you want to spend a little more time indoors during a cold, English winter, you could always book cheap theatre tickets to see a superb play or musical at the West End, such as Motown the Musical, Disney’s Aladdin, or Dreamgirls. There is no better way to spend a winter evening in London.

Visit Hyde Park Winter Wonderland

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is the biggest Christmas festival in the capital. It’s one attraction you should add onto your bucket list, as it offers an ice rink, fun markets, mulled wine stands, fairground rides, and even circus performances. It’s completely free to enter and will run from 22nd November 2018 until 6thJanuary 2019.

Don’t Miss Hogwarts in the Snow

Just when you thought the Warner Bros. Studio Tour – The Making of Harry Potter couldn’t get more magical, they go and dress the famous movie sets up for the festive season. 

If you are a big fan of the Boy Who Lived, you will not want to miss Hogwarts in the Snow. For example, the Great Hall will be decorated similar to The Goblet of Fire’s Yule Ball, so expect sparkling snow, snow-covered Christmas trees, and dripping icicles. 

Experience the Magic of Kew Gardens

If Kew Gardens wasn’t already beautiful enough, this year the botanical garden will adorn more than one million festive lights. Make your way here after dark to embark on the festive trail of lights, as you’ll walk under illuminated arches and view trees wrapped in Christmas colours. It’s one magical evening you couldn’t possibly forget and will take place from 22nd November 2018 to 5th January 2019.

Grab a Bargain During the London Winter Sales

Treat yourself or your loved ones to a superb gift this season by grabbing a bargain during the London winter sales, which will take place at Oxford Street’s many department stores. It’s the perfect place to pick up a Christmas present for your friends or family or to find the best deals during the January sales.
