Day 2

– What trip to London would be complete without a shopping spree?! Head to Oxford Street around 12pm to admire the fantastic Christmas lights and displays in the store fronts and outside the buildings, as well as preparing to hit all the stores! There are plenty of places to grab lunches here, from chain companies to independent cafes and coffee shops.

– 7 pm – dinner at Sketch Gallery – a quirky, stylish restaurant offering a range of contemporary British cuisine.

Day 3

– Check out 12pm

– Visiting the Natural History Museum is a must at Christmas in London, because every year an ice rink is constructed in the museum grounds – and who could resist the chance to fall flat on their face! Save that for the end of the day, so that you can enjoy it at nighttime, and spend your day exploring the many rooms and floors of the museum. It is recommended to get there early as it is packed with things to see, and you will need a full day to enjoy it all properly. Opening times are 10 am – 5.50 pm, last entry 5.30.
