We’re expecting a ‘normal’ Christmas this year, but there is never anything normal about this time of year in London Bridge! There’s festive fun that all the family will remember for many Christmases to come.
Take a trip to London Bridge City’s free Christmas by the River Festival (15 November to 2 January) for a Christmas market set against a panoramic view of London, with fairy-lit wooden cabins and yuletide treats!
Head over to Tower Bridge where a Christmas tree is up and waiting for you to snap some family Christmas photos, and if you’re looking for somewhere else to get some Christmas card pics, why not pay a trip to The View from The Shard with a family ticket, the tallest building in London housing the highest Christmas tree in the capital!
Forget about decking the halls, come and explore the nine decks on HMS Belfast – their interactive exhibition is sure to keep the whole family entertained for hours.
Keep kids on their toes at The Christmas Tales at the London Bridge Experience (on until 24 December) for a festive tour of yesteryear and a visit to Lapland Lodge, where Father Christmas awaits with gifts galore.
Festivities are in full force at local theatres: Pinocchio (on until 31 December) is showing at the Unicorn, as well as Christmas in the Sunshine (on until 31 December) for kids aged 3-6, transporting you to a festive Caribbean.
The Bridge Theatre’s A Christmas Carol family ticket (showing until 31 December) is the jolliest way to finish off a family trip to the area with a festive tale from the master of Christmas himself, Dickens.
