Hi there is an error in the first of your listings. The nearest Tube Station to Kew Gardens is Kew Gardens and not Richmond as stated.
There is so much to choose from the above list that I think I will start with the food at the Real Food Christmas market.
The best list of the Christmas markets I have come accross so far!
This guide is brilliant, enables us to make the most of our time in London, planning our day in advance and pick the markets that have products that interest us. Tube details are also very helpful..... Can't wait to visit.
