Christmas in London

Spending Christmas alone in the city? Don’t have any plans after a tour of properties with our estate agent London? Time Out has three lovely recommendations: you can enjoy the hospitable vibe at Wimbledon’s Alexandra pub, which is serving free drinks and a meal to singles; for some group fun, join the morning bike ride starting at Cutty Sark Gardens; or if you’re looking for some quiet time in, how about volunteering an hour of two to visit old folks seeking a nice friend? More details here.

Enjoy the cabaret? Head to the Covent Garden legend Café de Paris to catch the Showtime Cabaret Christmas Special featuring circus acts, burlesque and comedy followed by a nightclub party that will go on till 3am.

Looking at properties to rent in Soho? Take the Underground Station to Kew Gardens and within 20 minutes, you will find yourself in a magical wonderland lit by a million lights and laser beams. Christmas Kew Gardens always manages to delight adults and children, so try not to give it a skip.
