We’ve taken care of the magic, so come on over to see what Streatham has to offer this Christmas, and support locals this holiday season. Festive lights line the streets, Christmas trees are sprouting from the pavements and the return of our lights display in the central shopping district (you won’t miss it, it’s huge!) to add a touch of magic to the atmosphere.
You will find a great range of gift ideas from accessories to toys, beauty, fashion and homeware – all with the local touch that makes shopping in Streatham so much fun. You can even pick up a delicious treat at one of our cafes or restaurants before heading home with your new gifts.
With the whirlwind of a year coming to an end, start 2023 off right and treat yourself to some special ‘me time’ in the comfort of your own home. Creative Soul has a gorgeous selection of PJ’s and gowns to help you get comfortable and relax in your own space. Each FairTrade piece is hand made in Jaipur of 100% cotton. All hand printed designs are unique and the PJ’s come in a matching fabric pouch making them the perfect Christmas present.
A firm favourite on the Streatham events calendar, the popular Lights On Market returns to Babington plaza, Streatham Green. On Small Business Saturday December 3rd, from 11 to 5pm, come and fill your stocking with gifts from our festive market. With a selection of unique retailers and delicious food, it’s the perfect experience for finding the presents you’re looking for.
Our Magical Elf Car is also here to help get Streatham into the Christmas spirit! Sent from the North Pole on a special mission, allows children to video call Santa and post letters to Lapland via the magical postbox.
The Elf team will also take and print your picture out, for you to keep, whilst the DJ Elf will keep you entertained with lots of festive songs. Catch the Elf Car on Saturday December 3rd going from Streatham Hill down to the Common.
Then visit Streatham’s very own winter wonderland this Christmas and book an ice-skating session at Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre. This facility hosts the only Olympic-sized ice-skating rink in London!
This is just a handful of options of things to do in Streatham and once you get out and about, you won’t be able to stop yourself from seeing all the wonderful opportunities on offer this Christmas.
