Kiddie Winter Treats and Trips in London

Christmas holidays in London are already spectacular when you go there alone – the sights are such a wonder. But the winter season becomes much more fun when you celebrate it with kids in tow!

The city offers a lot of fantastic events and activities that your little ones will surely enjoy. After booking an accommodation in Kensington London, the week is yours to savor as you visit the following holiday tourist fares: 

1. Southbank Center Winter Festival

Your kids will appreciate the festive entertainment featuring Nordic themes. Aside from a Christmas market, there’s a Finnish sauna and a pop-up ledge. There are also loads of sweet treats and Christmas shows for the young and the young at heart.

2. Somerset House Ice Skating Rink

Skate in front of the historic Somerset House and be prepared for a beautiful evening with your family. The 900-square-meter courtyard offers a wide space for kids and adults alike, who want to have fun on the icy surface and eat mince pies after a round or two of skating.

3. Hyde Park

Take your children to Winter Wonderland – none other than Hyde Park! The best features of the park are the rides and circuses, where your kids can meet a real-life Santa. You can skate in a big ice rink, and visit the Magical Ice Kingdom. Check out Hyde Park’s Cirque Berserk and Zippos Christmas Circus, an ocean-themed adventure, and a rollercoaster for thrill seekers in the family. Hyde Park is just near hotels for accommodation in Kensington London, so it won’t be difficult to go back there in case your kids want another hour of revelry.

4.  Tales from the Shed

You’ve heard of the Tales from the Crypt, right? London has its own share of tales, but not the spine-tingling ones, though. Kids will delight in the creative storytelling of the people behind Tales from the Shed. They also host the Talesomime, a pantomime show that showcases Christmas themes.

5. The Christmas Forest

Take your family to a more meaningful and eco-friendly holiday trip such as the Christmas Forest. These are pop-up forests that sell trees sourced from Mali, Ethiopia, and Burkina Faso. Get your kids a fresh spruce of mistletoe or holly, and help families from Africa in return.

After having fun in these winter wonderlands, take your much-needed respite at any of those cheap hotels near Earls Court. You’ll enjoy Christmas in London more when your holiday destination is near your place of relaxation.
