London is best at Christmas time- the never ending lights never let you down and the shop windows are ever so enticing. Me and my boyfriend spent a rare day venturing around London (rare because we both love staying at home doing nothing). We managed to fit a lot in to one day, without spending to much money! Of course the train was the most expensive part of the day totalling at £35 for an all day travel pass which allowed us to use the underground as much as we wanted. This meant we could easily get everywhere we wanted without to much walking. This involved going to Winter Wonderland, Liberty, Harrods and Borough market. Unfortunately Winter Wonderland was a HUGE let down! It was no where near as good as I expected to be, but I think maybe because it wasn't incredibly busy, but still it was awful. Although we did go on a mini version of the London Eye which revealed a side to my boyfriend I had never seen before- a man afraid of heights (which was hilarious!)
I love love love Liberty. Its architecture is beautiful inside and out, not to mention all the items within. It never fails to create a elegant Christmas theme and the precisely designed fabrics are always too tempting. If anyone else shares my appreciation for Liberty, I recommend the Liberty programme on 4od.
I had never been to Borough Market before but the smell of great food and in great quantities has made it one of my favourite places to go in London. There was a great atmosphere and it was right next to our train station so it was a great place to stop off and grab some food for the way home. We bought some warming pear and apple muled wine which tasted just like Christmas! Here's some photographs from the day. I must say, Ive never seen a full dear minus the head before hanging from a wall, but it was worth a photo...
