Back in 2010 when I was studying in the English capital, I celebrated a very special Christmas in London. An unforgettable experience, the memories of that festive time are still etched in my mind. Oh, how the lights came on in mid- November and dramatically changed the skyline and my perception of the city. A love affair began; and never ceased.
Almost a decade later, Christmas still breathes the same exuberance here. As a business traveller, perhaps the experience here would be a little more luxurious but with the signature dramatic flair that’s straight out of a Charles Dicken’s novel. Mulled wine, starry winter markets and bejewelled Christmas trees; walking on London’s streets during yuletide is a classic fairy tale-like frame. Here are a few experiences you must consider if you’re visiting London during Christmastime.
CHRISTMAS SHOWS
For fans of theatrical escapism, a private service called ‘Theatre In The Clouds’ offered by Shangri-La Hotel, At The Shard is quite interesting. Commissioned for the festive season, the light-hearted Christmas play Four Calling Birds is being performed at the hotel’s luxury suites for up to 25 guests per show until December 12. Set in London’s highest luxury hotel suites, team this intimate experience with a stay at this hotel that comes with a host of other benefits and beautiful views of London town.
If Christmas carols warm your heart, the stay package ‘A Kensington Tale’ at The Kensington is a good idea. Apart from curated experiences like a special Christmas lunch, the hotel gives you two tickets to carols at the Royal Albert Hall that’ll bring out the true essence of the season.
