Christmas markets are such a big part of the festive season and we always try to go to one or two each year. They’re a fantastic place to spend time as a family or with friends and it’s lovely to soak up the festive atmosphere, grab a hot drink and appreciate the lights, smells and sounds of Christmas as well as doing some holiday shopping and really make the most of the holiday season.
As much as we love travelling to the big Christmas markets like Bath Christmas Market or Winchester Christmas Market, it’s lovely to spend time at smaller, local Christmas markets too. So I thought I’d put together all the Christmas markets, holiday markets and Christmas fairs across London to give you some festive inspiration in your local area. Many are dog friendly and family friendly places to visit too, making it a lovely day out.
