No Selfridges Santa, lights & what in London?

Money_maker

I have discovered (rather late) that Selfridges will not be doing a Santa this year :mad:

Cos we rather enjoyed looking at the lights, visiting Santa and soaking up the atmosphere in Oxford Street last year, we want to go again.

We visited Hyde Park Winter Wonderland which really wasn't for us, too funfairish with just a huge swell of people although we may try again.

So what else is there to do with a Christmas theme? Missed out on Harrods Santa waiting for Selfridges - does anyone else do one?

Thanks in advance.

The South Bank is nice at Christmas - market, cafes, walk along the river etc

Even if you're not around for the lighting up ceremony, they have choirs singing and other activitives on other days. Keep an eye on the page linked to above for updates.

Harrods are going all out this year with a Disney themed Christmas, so that could be a great place to visit.

Ice rinks at Somerset House and Tower of London (prefer the latter).
