Bask in the festive glow of Covent Garden at Christmas. The piazza shimmers with giant baubles, twinkling garlands, and a towering tree, while the Apple Market and surrounding arcades brim with artisan gifts, decorations, and sweet treats. Warm up with mulled wine or hot chocolate, pause for street performers under the sparkling lights, and dip into chic boutiques for last-minute presents. Wander over to Seven Dials for more twinkly streets and indie shops, or keep it cosy with a bite in one of the market’s snug cafés. With music, atmosphere, photo opportunities, and that unmistakable seasonal buzz, it’s proper London Christmas magic, all wrapped up in one handsome square.
