London not England,England barely puts lights up on their houses so you can only really feel the Christmas spirit in London. I've been there and outside of London there are not a lot of lights up.

The lighting the decorations and generally it is a beautiful place to visit around Christmas time with so much to do. I heard winter wonderland is worth a visit in London also.

Aw! I actually think the Christmas markets are wayyyy nicer in Austria, but I agree nobody does Christmas glitz and glamour like London when it comes to decorations and lights 🤩

I made the mistake of going to Hamley’s on Regent Street on a Saturday afternoon in December to look for some gifts for my son. It was absolutely crazy. My then four year old son appreciated the gifts though, asking me when I was going back to London.

Do you know when the Christmas markets end? We will be there JAN 4-8 and hoping we’ll still see all the decor and markets?

@Magic_beans_ 10 ай бұрын

You’ll probably see some. The lighting displays tend to stick around until about Epiphany (Jan. 6). If you want to see those it should probably be one of the first things you do. Only a few markets have confirmed their dates for 2023-24, so we can only really say what’s happened in the past. Most close by Jan. 1, but a couple should still be there when you arrive. Last year Leicester Square and Southbank stayed open through the first week of January.
