Description
The period between Christmas and New Year is a wonderful time to escape on a memorable getaway! Come and see the capital at its most magical, with stunning lights, charming window displays and yuletide cheer. There is plenty to explore, whether you'd like to tick off as many iconic landmarks as you can, take a refreshing stroll in one of the royal parks or warm up in the many museums, art galleries and shops. During our break we also visit Christmas at Kew, a real highlight of London's festive season, where enchanting illuminations adorn the canopies of the botanic gardens and food stalls serve up indulgent treats and spiced winter warmers.
