Looking for prezzie inspiration? Look no further than London’s Christmas markets and fairs.
Christmas is all about tradition: festive markets, ice skating, carol services and all the trimmings. But there's no law that says you have to stick to the same old stuff. Inject a little excitement into your festive season by planning something that'll banish boredom and shake off tired old routines.
Whether you fancy switching up your usual gift-shopping with a trip to the Satanic Flea Market’s Antichristmas Fayre, making the Yuletide gayer than ever at a camp as Christmas drag show, swatching some alt Christmas movies with only the most tenuous of links to the festive period or even spending December 25 pounding the pavements to complete an ultramarathon, have yourself a quirky little Christmas.
We'll add our pick of the best alternative festive events in London here, as they're announced this autumn and winter. It really will be truly the most (weird and) wonderful time of the year!
