The London Eye is a breathtaking experience at any time during the year but particularly over Christmas. Seeing the twinkling lights from the city and far beyond from above once the sun goes down is an incredible sight to behold during the festive period.

A few of the best ones to check out include the Natural History Museum, Somerset House, the Tower of London, Winter Wonderland and Hampton Court. Be sure to book in advance to avoid disappointment as it can get busy, particularly in the Christmas school holidays.
London is a magical place during the winter months and the above are a few of the best places to visit on a family trip to the capital. There are all kinds of festive events and activities taking place all over London in the run-up to Christmas and at the start of next year which are well-suited to families looking for a special day out together.
