Nowhere does Christmas quite like jolly old England! During this enchanting five-day trip, wander through twinkling streets adorned with festive lights and explore iconic landmarks draped in holiday cheer. Delight in seasonal markets, shop the high streets and duck into a pub if it gets too cold or wet (or just because!).
From the grandeur of Westminster Abbey to the charm of Kew Gardens, your holiday season will be unforgettable with a cozy winter wonderland awaiting at every turn. Join us for a festive adventure in London that captures the spirit of Christmas in all the most idyllic ways -- with just enough on the schedule as well as plenty of free time to shop, sightsee and shop some more!
One of the most fascinating churches of the world, where over forty British monarchs have been coronated, and the location of over sixteen weddings have been held here since 1100. You'll have the chance to visit the church and museum and afterwards, we'll gather for Evensong and be transported by the angelic singing of the choirboys.
What could be more British than afternoon tea? We'll go to none other than the iconic Ritz to indulge in one of the UK's most traditional celebrations: tea. The Ritz is the only hotel in the UK to have a certified teamaster who travels the world visiting tea plantations to source only the best tea. It's fantastic for people watching, too!
Royal Albert Hall sees almost two million visitors a year. Opened in 1871 by Queen Victoria, it's since held world-class performances throughout the last century. The suffragettes held meetings there and Winston Churchill gave speeches there. Together, we'll enjoy a festive singalong Christmas caroling evening at this much-loved, spectacular and historic venue.
Kew is stunning any time of the year but at Christmas, it's especially evocative. The gardens, decked out in lights, is a true spectacle. Wander the gardens with warm mulled wine and soak in the special atmosphere. Kew is close to Richmond, one of London's most delightful neighborhoods, which of course merits a stop for shopping or a meal on the way!
We'll stay in Chelsea's iconic Sloane Square, a neighborhood very much lived-in and loved by locals. With its truly unique and fascinating history, Chelsea is one of the most interesting and exciting neighbourhoods in London. Renowned for its beautiful parks, including the Chelsea Physic Garden and Battersea Park, it is also home to some of London’s most iconic landmarks, such as the Royal Hospital Chelsea and the Saatchi Gallery.
Today, Chelsea prides itself on being an affluent and upscale neighbourhood, offering world-class shopping and entertainment.
We'll stay in a gorgeous four-star hotel in the heart of Chelsea, in an outstanding part of London that oozes with alluring charm of history and the vibrant conviviality of modern life. Best of all, it's not on the tourist radar.
