Top 4 Activities To Do in London This December
Ice Skate Beneath Somerset House
No setting is quite so magnificent than that of Somerset House. Nor is anything more iconic than its amazing ice rink this festive season. Skate around the grand courtyard on this huge (900-square-metre to be exact) outdoor rink. And just to make it more epic, you can’t miss the 40ft Christmas tree in its centre. This year’s theme is a ‘Swiss Winter’, so look out for specially curated elements inspired by the Swiss regions of Bern, Lucerne, and Valais. Such as a new restaurant, ‘Chalet Suisse’, by Jimmy Garcia and an all new skate lounge, sponsored by none other than the rosé brand, ‘Whispering Angel’.
2. Gaze At Epic Light Displays At Kew Gardens
Kew Gardens are a wonder all of their own, but at Christmas time the magic really comes to life once the sun sets. Gaze as the gardens come to life, as they light up with an array of light displays, and cheerful sounds this wondrous season. Wonder around with mini doughnuts to munch on along the way, as well as cakes, roasted chestnuts, and hot chocolate of course. So wrap up warm, and marvel at the magic of Christmas at Kew.
