Going up with dd 17 tomorrow. We are going to a show at 3pm near Embankment. We will have two or three hours to kill before. Where’s lovely and Christmassy?!

Thanks all. We went to embankment and walked to Trafalgar Square, not busy at all there and a Christmas market, then on to Covent Garden. CG was busy but not too busy and we could wander around the stalls and shops. Pretty, Christmassy and great show. No problem. Glad we avoided Oxford street!
