Booking London Christmassy things....

[LPF]

I'm so excited - just booked The Snowman tickets for the first weekend in December. My plan so far is....

Saturday - travel down early and check in to hotel, late lunch somewhere nice for kids, London eye at dusk (got Merlin passes) then check out some of the Christmas lights.

Sunday - big premier inn brekkie, The Snowman at 11am, late lunch again and then try to book at slot to meet Father Christmas at harrods.

Any reviews for FC at harrods? I've just signed up for the rewards card to get early booking.

Any other recommendations for good Christmas things in London for just 4yr olds?

Next, search for panto.....I LOVE Christmassy outings!

Winter wonderland is amazing though rides are expsensive but its so Christmassy I'd totally recommend it... Its lovely with the ice rink, stalls, christmas songs, mulled wine....

Winter wonderland for sure! Its so lovely there, it is pricy but you can make it a cheap(er) day out if you pack drinks and snacks. Even if you don't go on the rides there is still plenty to look at that is festive. We went on the ferris wheel though, think it was £16 for a family. There is peak and off peak prices for the rides I do believe. We went off peak but I bet the atmosphere is amazing at peak times.


My boys there last year

Definitely pop into Winter Wonderland, I go every year it's a bit overrated but as it's free to go in it's nice to wonder round get a mulled wine and look at the little stalls, loads for kids to ride too.

I've signed up for Harrods rewards too for the same reason, anyone know when they advertise early slots?
