Xmassy things to do in London with 3yo and 18months old?

[tostaky]

any recommendations?
I have had a look on Time out but it is hard to pick one thing, not sure if the DCs will enjoy...
Plus i'll be with a friend and her 18 months old too - so 3 DCs in all.
Thank you!!!

I'm going to lurk on your thread - going to London for the weekend with a 4 year old in tow soon.
Are you travelling by train? There is some kind of Lego Christmas Tree in St Pancras station I'm going to swing by and see.

There's ice skating outside Somerset house I think it is, they've got penguins the kids can cling to!

winter wonderland inhyde park. santa at selfrides and harrods? oxford street lights, christmas tree in trafalgar square. Hope that helps

Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park was fun last year, so we'll visit again soon. With toddlers, I would recommend going a little earlier as it does get a bit busy the later it gets. A nice mix for different ages.

be prepared for everywhere to be very busy, I agree best to go early wherever you go. If you are near Oxford St, the Regent St lights are usually nice too - my DCs would happily spend hours just gazing in Hamley's windows, they usually have lovely displays
