London really comes alive at Christmas like no other city on earth. We've put together a list of some of the things London has to offer this festive time...

Check out festive window displays

If London loves one thing, it's a good window display. Liberty is famous for its in-store Christmas display, and is also a great place to buy unique and quintessentially 'London' gifts. Harrods has been transformed into a giant gingerbread house - pop in and check out their Christmas shop - and Selfridges have a range of events on to celebrate the festive season. Bond Street is also full of impressive window displays, and it's definitely worth strolling down there with a hot drink in the evening.
