Events Planned Out for December in London

Besides the sparkle and glitter of Christmas that you can see and feel in London in the month of December, many more different activities and events from an indulgent programme of music and celebrations at the Royal Albert Hall to the fairy light-festooned gardens at Kew are also lined up. 

Irrespective of whether you are a roaming romantic or an out-of-town weekender, you will enjoy staying at Piccadilly London West End which will provide a stylish urban hideaway in the heart of London at Piccadilly Circus, close to most attractions.

Winter Market: Festivities are in full swing in London during December such as at Southbank Centre where the Winter Market takes place and the River Thames south bank gets metamorphosed into a twinkling cluster of wooden cabins loaded with festival treasures that include handmade stocking-fillers and unique trinkets. You can also find plenty of steaming Gluwein and thick hot chocolate to recoup your energy.

At the Piccadilly West End hotel you can enjoy afternoon tea with an irresistible Indian twist infusing English tea favourites with the spices of the sub-continent. You will love Indian Afternoon Tea as you relish homemade Lucknawi spiced scones with strawberry cumin jam to accompany ginger and cardamom tea.

Christmas at Kew: The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew will be transformed this year when Christmas at Kew returns with grand illuminations, shining illustrations and exciting live bands filling the air with celebrations and a festive time. More than a million light bulbs will glow from hundreds of glittery origami boats floating on the lake to the appeal of the laser beams from Field of Light.

By taking a brisk walk westwards from Piccadilly London West End hotel, you will reach Fulham FC which is the Oldest Football Club in London and in England dating back to 1879.

Christmas at the Royal Albert Hall: A lively programme of music, theatre and performance will be launched at the Royal Albert Hall in December. Irrespective of whether you are interested in a classic Christmas carol singalong or a high-octane tap-dancing jazz improvisation, you will find just the right performance that will fascinate you. Other performances include the popular British television show ‘Whose Line is it Anyway?’, and the London Community Gospel Choir.

You can avail of a 15% Rainforest Café London Discount when you take your meals at the Rainforest Café, if you are a Montcalm hotel guest.

War Horse: At the National Theatre you can watch the captivating drama War Horse that tells the tale of a young man and his beloved horse, who get separated in the midst of World War I. You can also see the award-winning Handspring Puppet Company from South Africa and enjoy powerful choreography, epic sets and moving performances. 

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s Christmas Cracker: This musical extravaganza will take place at Cadogam Hall that will be illuminated with the twinkling lights of a Christmas tree and will have the scent of mulled wine.  A singalong programme featuring many traditional favourites, including Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Jingle Bells and Winter Wonderland, will be performed by West End vocalists Emma Hatton (Wicked) and Oliver Tompsett (Guys and Dolls).
