Ice skating is a part of the festive season in London, the Elephant and Castle Ice rink is affordable and even offer bumper car ice skating.
Carol concerts
There is nothing like a carol concert to get into the Christmas spirit. St Paul’s Cathedral has a mix of paid and free singing events to get involved in. Or why try the St Martin-in-the-Fields carol services?
