We know we like to blow our own trumpets a little here at Secret London but if there’s one time of year where we feel like London really, really steals the show: it’s Christmas.
1. Christmas lights on Carnaby St give you that sparkly feeling.
2. And at Covent Garden?
3. Things take a romantic turn…
4. Our Christmas trees might just be the best in the world…
5. No but actually.
6. And even though Christmas shopping may be hell – at least we’ve got some things to smile at on the way.
7. In fact, Christmas is just about the only time it is okay to smile in London.
8. Even on the tube.
See. You just smiled.
9. Borough Market takes a festive turn.
10. And Portobello does too (in a very cute way)…
11. Winter Wonderland tastes of Christmas.
12. And looks like Christmas too…
13. Only in London can you sip on hot drinks like this…
14. And because it’s Christmas, you don’t have to feel too guilty about it.
15. There’s nothing quite like that feeling when the sun sets in London…
16. And for the first time in a long time, you’ll be glad when it’s dark.
17. The streets get busier…
18. Until Christmas day when the city empties…
19. And suddenly London feels more magical than ever before.
