Your essential guide to Christmas in London

Merry Christmas

To ease the pain, we've created the essential festive season guide. Find out which restaurants are open on Christmas Day, where to pick up great gifts, go ice-skating, catch a (decent) panto, and ooh and aah over Christmas lights. Keep checking back for shopping updates, grotto guide, carols round-up and more. Who needs Father Christmas when you've got Time Out?
