Hi Reader,
Jess here 👋 a note: this week's newsletter is sent on a Tuesday because our US followers will be too busy on Thursday to read our emails 🦃 Now, off to today's tips.
I know, I can’t quite believe it’s almost 2025 either. It’s been a crazy (but fun!) year with the launch of Love and Paris, the Facebook Community, our Transport Guide and, most recently, our new travel deals newsletter, Voyagr.
Aside from reminding us how fast time is flying by, the emergence of a new year means one thing: festive season in the city.
If there’s anything Londoners know how to do in style, it’s celebrating the holidays: from Christmas lights to NYE fireworks, it’s truly a blast.
But winter in London = cold, and I know that doesn’t sound exciting.
HOWEVER, just because it’s chilly throughout the winter months, doesn’t mean there’s any less to do on a trip to London. The city has many activities and experiences to get stuck into during the chillier spells.
Today I’m bringing you some fun things to do around the city during this time of year, including where to stay, what you MUST know, and how to plan it all.
Ready? Let’s go.
Top things to do in London in the winter ❄️
From wrapping up for a stroll around one of London’s iconic parks to cosying up in a classic London boozer for a Sunday roast next to the roaring fire, join us as we explore the top things to do in London in the winter.
How to make the most of your time in London 🗺
Having a well-planned itinerary is the best way to do and see the most you can while in London, but it's REALLY hard to make one that is efficient and hits the good stuff when you've never even been to this massive, sprawling city. But guess what... I’ve already done it for you.
Important things to know before visiting London in 2025 🚨
I know visiting a new city can be super overwhelming, but I’m here to take all the mystery out of your London trip planning. From transport to accommodation, tipping, weather, safety and more, Phoebe explains everything you need to know before visiting London in 2025 in this video.
