Belgravia is a beautiful place to visit at Christmas time as it is embraces all things festive with lights, markets and bright shop window displays. The area’s retailers are taking part in the seasonal celebrations and there will be an award for best window display this year. This will be very exciting for tourists heading to this part of London who can enjoy the festive cheer. Travellers must venture to the amazing Harrods to see its brilliant window display, as they never let customers down with their Christmas lights. This iconic British store is a truly wonderful place for tourists to go shopping to get all their presents for family and friends.

A brilliant arts destination that travellers can venture to when they are in the Belgravia area is the beautiful Cadogan Hall. This venue offers the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Christmas Cracker event on Sunday, December 18 that has special guest vocalists and great festive songs. On December 20 and 21 there is an event at the concert hall called The Sixteen, which offers a diverse Christmas programme of traditional carols and older music pieces. Both these events will really get tourists in the mood for festive season with amazing music and singing. Tourists must also look out for the many carol-singers who will be on the streets of Belgravia, who are usually wrapped up warm and singing live to raise money for charity.

Visitors heading to the city of London will want to stay at the centre close to the main attractions and sights. A great choice of accommodation is Park Avenue Hotel in Belgravia that offers fantastic rooms and suites that are air-conditioned and offer a work desk and Wi-Fi internet. Other amenities include a flatscreen television and bathrooms that have luxury toiletries and a hairdryer. This hotel in Belgravia is a fabulous place to stay for both business and leisure tourists who will be pleased to be based close to Victoria station.

Travellers should also venture to the wonderful landmark of Westminster Abbey that offers many free carol concerts, services and midnight mass in the lead up to Christmas. A great venue to see for its building, it is also just a lovely place to be around the festive season. Visitors on holiday in December will love the idea of just having a wander around the area going past Buckingham Palace and also walking along Piccadilly that’s always lit up well with Christmas lights and have the best show window fronts for tourists to enjoy during their trip.

Another superb destination near Piccadilly that travellers should visit is the amazing Hyde Park that at this time of year has Winter Wonderland. This fantastic destination is ideal for families and groups of friends who want to go ice-skating and enjoy the amazing Christmas markets.
