Christmas comes but once a year. So you may as well give in to pester power and give your little ’uns a one-on-one audience with the big man himself, Santa. London's best Santa's grottos are full of friendly elves, magical Christmas decorations, and presents for kids willing to promise they've been good. This Christmas, Santa will have his work cut out flitting from London Zoo to Winter Wonderland to Kew and beyond, ho-ho-hoing and dishing out gifts to the capital’s over-excited children.

But, don’t get caught short. There’s only so much Santa to go around so it’s more important than ever to book your kids a slot with ol’ Saint Nick in advance to avoid tears and tantrums. Here are some spots to try.
