But what if you've had your fill of traditional Christmas markets and tinsel? There are plenty of other activities and events going on in London too that shouldn't be missed.

Whether you want to ready your wallet and hit some of London's lesser known (and less crowded) shops or you feel like wrapping up and strolling through some of the city's most beautiful gardens, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
