Plus, tea. Who could forget the tea? London is definitely one-of-a-kind, and there&#8217;s absolutely no shortage of experiences all year round. However, we can&#8217;t deny the fact that it&#8217;s dramatically different during winter. So, we thought we&#8217;d take it upon ourselves to give you some of the best things to do in London in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">But first, let&#8217;s start off by touching on some of the frequently asked questions about winter travel\/winter in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"heading\" ><strong>How do I get around London in winter?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Well, the best option would unarguably be the London Underground called the &#8220;Tube&#8221;, it&#8217;s one of the most popular ways to travel around London, and it&#8217;s not hard to see why! It&#8217;s fast, reliable, and most importantly, affordable, which is the cherry on top of the cake, considering a holiday in London does come with a hefty price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">But hey, if the Tube isn&#8217;t for you, taking the bus is your next most convenient shot at getting around. Many travellers also walk around the city since it&#8217;s decked out in fairy lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">If you&#8217;re a first-timer or just short on time (because, let&#8217;s be honest, do any of us have free time?), we suggest taking advantage of the hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus tour to get between some of the most renowned London landmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\" id=\"heading\" ><strong>Is December a good time to visit London?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Yes, and don&#8217;t let anyone tell you otherwise!

Plus, to top it all off, you can head to the museum&#8217;s cafe &amp; enjoy mulled wine once you&#8217;ve had enough of skating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Soak in the sights of Oxford Street<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelcenter.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/oxford.jpg\" alt=\"Things to do in London in Winter - Oxford Street\" class=\"wp-image-32957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/oxford.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/oxford-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/oxford-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/oxford-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/oxford-960x480.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/oxford-800x400.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/oxford-585x293.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Couldn&#8217;t get your shopping done? Well, say hello to your saviour! Oxford Street is London&#8217;s ultimate shopping haven, and it would be a rookie mistake not to pay a visit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Lined with high-end retailers, renowned UK department stores, and candy shops, this is definitely worthy of making it on to one of the best things to do in London in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Also, it just gets better as you approach Christmas!

Plus, there&#8217;s free entry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Also, you&#8217;re in London, so this definitely won&#8217;t be the only overpriced thing you&#8217;ll do! So, we recommend saving up before your trip to get this experience on your bucket list &#8211; it really is worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Let\u2019s have a Harry Potter Christmas?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Okay, listen &#8211; we know this isn&#8217;t the traditional go-to activity that you&#8217;d expect to find on a list of things to do in London in winter, but &#8211; we happen to think it&#8217;s a good thing to stray away from the ordinary and be a little unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Also, what&#8217;s Christmas without a hint of nostalgia? Harry Potter was definitely a big part of our childhood (most of us, at least), and what better way to honour that memory than by visiting the Warner Brothers Studio!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Plus, to make things even better, the Harry Potter film sets that we (again, most of us) know like the back of our hand transformed for the winter season. From adorned Christmas trees lining the Great Hall to icicles and golden baubles hanging above, you&#8217;ll have time to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-black-color has-text-color\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ride the London Eye<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.travelcenter.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/eye.jpg\" alt=\"Things to do in London in Winter - London Eye\" class=\"wp-image-32956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/eye.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/eye-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/eye-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/eye-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/eye-960x480.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/eye-800x400.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.travelcenter.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/eye-585x293.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Of course, we&#8217;re talking about the London Eye.
