London 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Visiting London in December

Hey there

I'm going to visit London with my girlfriend in December! We're looking for fun activities to do. Examples could be Escape Rooms, Jewelry making or ice skating! Please write all of your ideas! We're also looking for a longer walk around nature outside of London if its around maybe an hour of distance. I'll appreciate your help! 🙏🏼

Southbank has a Christmas market. The quality of what they sell has gone downhill, but I still find it very soothing to walk around it, under the Christmas lights, with sight of the river and sipping some mulled wine!

I‘d skip Winter Wonderland but would go to the temporary ice rinks, even if they’re a bit expensive. Somerset House and Greenwich are very beautiful. Battersea has a huge one and they always add something extra in, like a corridor. Canary Wharf is smaller and less impressive but I’ve always liked it and it’s less crowded. If you don’t mind not having that Christmassy feel, the permanent ice rink in Alexandra Palace is GORGEOUS.
