Every year I take a Christmas trip to London either for the day or for the weekend. Who knows if this will happen this year but if it is allowed I'll be ready!
Here are my go-to fave things to do while on the traditional festive trip.
1. STAY
We've been staying here for years and absolutely love it. They dec the place out so incredibly well for Christmas too. A room facing the high street is also as equally breath taking.
2. EAT
Head to a bakery for a festive themed treat. We were lucky enough to visit the Dominique Ansel bakery last year before it unfortunately closed this year permanently due to covid.
These cute little bakeries & cafes are top of my list for my first London trip:
3. EXPLORE
Elizabeth Street, Belgravia - Full of incredible door decor and shop fronts that go all out for the festive season. Grab a hot choc to go and walk around this gorgeous area.
Pavilion Rd, Chelsea - another cute little alley with loads of beautiful shops and restaurants
EAT
A walk around Harrods is always lovely, especially when the Christmas shop is open. Stop off for a Pizza at the Harrods Pizzeria. Delicious and perfect for a quick pit stop meal mid shop.
4. SHOP
For the past few years I've bought a Tiffany diary and the true shopping experience is buying it in store rather online. My fave tiffany store is Sloane Street as we've had so many special memories there.
SHOP
So you've bought next years diary, now lets go get a fabulous pair of heels, preferably with wings fluttering above the heel! Every time I head to the Sophia Webster store (this one was the Sloane Ave store) I contact Nadine ahead of our trip, check out her shoe-spiration insta here: @nadine_sophiawebster
Nadine is the true shoe guru!
5. HOT CHOC STOP
Covent garden may be a bit bonkers around Christmas time but the Hotel Chocolat store does the most incredible hot choc to take away!
EAT / SLEEP
I love to finish off the day back at The Royal Garden Hotel with a glass of champers and if the day has all been a bit much and you can't be bothered to stray from the premises, book into Min Jiang on the top floor of the hotel. Pre order the duck in advance and you won't regret it!
