It was a festive day of leisurely exploration in London, beginning in the old City with sweeping winter views from the Sky Garden and Horizon 22.
From there, the atmosphere turned warmly Christmassy at Leadenhall Market, its historic arcade glowing with seasonal lights. A relaxed walk along the river offered moments of calm amid the city’s bustle before the day shifted to the lively energy of Borough Market, rich with food, colour, and seasonal treats.
As evening fell, the West End sparkled with decorations and theatre crowds, and the day ended in Mayfair, where elegant streets and understated lights provided a refined and festive close to a quintessential London Christmas outing.
