Covent Garden Christmas

There's arguably nowhere in London that's Christmassier than Covent Garden Piazza in December – and this year it's taking those festive vibes to the next level. From November 9, it's going to transform into Arendelle from 'Frozen' to mark the opening of the new West End musical. (If you want to build a snowman or find out why reindeer are better than people, you should pop in.) Covent Garden Christmas Village opens from November 15 with craft stalls, a fir tree forest and bauble-shaped dining domes. Best of all? The likes of Frenchie, Avobar, Ladurée, The Smokey Gaucho, Mr Pig Stuff and The Cheese Toaster will all be serving up their takes on the Christmas sarnie this festive season. There'll be more than 15 to try. Probably best not to do that all in one sitting.

Other exciting events hosted at Covent Garden this year include London's first-ever Christmas Sandwich Festival, which starts on November 15.

There's also a mulled wine festival, aka The Winter Warmer Fortnight, beginning December 10.

There’s also going to be an immersive Lego experience, promising to transport shoppers into a colourful brick-based world, new shop openings from Lisa Eldridge, Guerlain and Bullard’s Gin and a shopping lounge, created by American Express. It all sounds very good.
