Is it just us or are people planning pre-Christmas breaks earlier each year? There’s nowhere quite like London for enchanting events to help get us full of festive cheer. When you choose to stay at the Lavender Guest House in Battersea/Clapham it means that you are perfectly placed to enjoy the traditional events that London does so well coming up to Christmas Day.

Here’s our quick guide to some of the most fun and festive events to enjoy, but book early as this year is already selling out fast.

WINTER WONDERLAND – HYDE PARK (November 15th to January 5th, 2025)

Yes, it’s a cliché but by all accounts, this year’s S is set to be brighter, bigger and more popular than ever. A ticketed event to enjoy Christmas markets, shows, and an ice kingdom and so much more.

KEW GARDENS (November 18th to January 7th, 2025)

Stroll through the illuminated gardens and marvellous sites await including twinkling tunnels and glowing trees. Tickets are selling out fast

SOMERSET HOUSE ICE SKATING (November 14th to January 7th, 2025)

There’s nothing that appeals to all ages at Christmas more than ice skating! Battersea is only a short distance to this rink set against an 18th century courtyard.

REGENT & OXFORD STREETS CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

The iconic shopping streets put on a stunning display and attract visitors from all over the country and the world. Enjoy the shopping the lights and the super special atmosphere.

After enjoying a day or two of holiday attractions step back into the calm and cosiness of our Lavender Guest House in the heart of Battersby. As always book early for your pre Christmas shopping break and make it the best possible base for your London Christmas adventure.
