London early December
 

Will be visiting London early December. Interested in any information from travelers who have attended Christmas concerts, markets, etc., that were memorable.

Spitalfields Market nr Liverpool Street station is always worth a visit at any time of the year!

Hyde Park has a German Christmas market with tasty sausages and carnival-rides for kids (if you have them).

Ice skating at the Tower of London.

Harrod's at Christmas is a specatacle.

St Martins in the Fields (church) at Trafalgar Square has a series of Christmas concerts. We went to a jazz concert there that was held in the crypt, where there is a good cafe. Great night.

Check their website for details.

One word - Pantomime.

You certainly won't forget it and you won't see it anywhere else.

Pretty much every local theatre will have one on (Huggy Bear - yes the real Huggy Bear - is in my local one)

&quot;<i> . . . . and you won't see it anywhere else. </i>&quot; Actually even in my small California backwater we are having a Cinderella Panto this year (not quite as good as in England but a semi-decent edition . . . .

bonvoyage70: Yes, you definitely want to see a Pantomime for sure (not what most in the States would think the word means -- yes, they do talk :) )
