Christmas by the river – London South Bank
When it comes to Christmas in London, you can’t beat the magical atmosphere of South Bank. Lights glittering in the trees along the riverside, the scent of mulled wine from the Winter Markets, and festive music drifting in the air from all the seasonal pop-ups and entertainers are guaranteed to get you in the yuletide spirit – making it the perfect destination for your festive celebrations.
Whether you’re looking for a small office dinner in one of the many riverside restaurants or planning an elaborate party for over 1000, every possibility is catered for. Head to the skies for a sparkling rooftop reception at National Theatre’s Buffini Chao Deck or Sea Containers Events, take over the underground arches of 26 Leake Street or host a glittering gala dinner at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge.
If your party style is more activity-led, there’s a host of attractions and venues right on the doorstep. Hire a private capsule on the London Eye, sing your heart out at Lucky Voice, or hire out American sports bar Passyunk Avenue, complete with baseball batting cages and shuffleboard.
