Alternative Christmas events in London
Looking for something different to the festive classics? Here are the most weird and wonderful events happening in London this Christmas
Most of us love a good-old fashioned Christmas with festive markets, ice skating, carol services and all the trimmings. However, it’s not everyone’s glass of mulled wine. Thankfully, London is abuzz with unusual Christmas events so this winter, it’s time to shake up the festive traditions. Switch things up with a visit to a Satanic Flea Market, buy your gifts from a Goth Shop, belt out 90s tunes instead of Christmas carols, or start your holiday by plunging into an icy pool at the Crisis Icebreaker.
