DH and I always make a trip to London before xmas but usually only manage a long weekend. This year we have a whole week so trying to pre-plan some different things to do. Has anyone got suggestions of good places to visit / things to see and do?
We usually:
Spend a fair amount of time clothes shopping around Oxford Street.
Have a wander around Covent Garden and Cannaby Street.
Visit Fortnum and Masons for some lovely treats.
Walk the South Bank with a hot chocolate up to the Tower of London (where DH proposed a few years ago!)
A visit to Westfields usually reserved for a rainy day.
Ideas I've had for extra years are:
A carol service somewhere (maybe St Pauls?)
A pretty Christmas market (any suggestions?)
Some sort of classical music performance to surprise DH (he would love this!)
We'd have loved to have seen the Nutcraker but it looks as if tickets were sold out long ago. Are there any other gems people can think of? We just love Christmas and all things related, and I want to make the most of this trip as it might be the last on our own for a while (planning to start a family next year!!)
Any suggestions very gratefully received :)
