London in December during Christmas? 🇬🇧

been meaning to make this post for awhile!

i visited London in December 2023 and spent Christmas there 🎅🏻

review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✨ 3.5/5!

✅ some things that i enjoyed:

- it was easy to navigate and take the tube (just use your credit cards)

- the architecture is amazing

- learn about the history of london by visiting the various museums ; famous paintings by van gogh can be found in the national gallery!

- primark is the best (cheap clothes for winter and summer clothing as well)

❌ why i wouldn't recommend going to London:

- it was pretty gloomy and rainy when i went ☔️

felt like a good place to be sad at 😭 HHAHAH

- pick pocketed! phone was stolen ☹️☹️ they are really good at this so please be careful! our phone strap unfortunately broke halfway through

- lack of toilets 🚽 (very common in europe etc, is it just me?)

- public transport may be affected by strike 😰

- expensive 💸💸 try not to cab and we mostly went to chinatown to get food but it was pretty crowded too!

- christmas was underwhelming (thought there would be way more decorations and lights but there wasn't) 🌲

do note that there is EVERYTHING is closed on christmas day in London so you have to self entertain yourself

👍🏻 : i would recommend

1. Bicester Village - cheap designer goods that range across many brands!

2. do visit the museums - Natural History Museum etc! eye opening 👀

3. Winter Wonderland - would be fun if friends went together 🧸

4. overall just walking on the streets of London and enjoying the views ☺️

thanks for reading! 💷
