London’s West End Christmas Lights – Truly Magical

London’s famous West End is a great place to introduce this year’s Christmas lights. The busy shopping streets will be placing a huge display of dangling stars and golden angels, filling up miles upon miles of festive decorations and window displays.

But the Christmas tours are much more than just the main lights. For those you looking to discover more off the beaten path areas, Carnaby Street is a great place to start. Previous year highlights have included the Carnaby Universe, which you can visit as part of London Magical Tour’s London VIP Tours

Following on from Carnaby Street, the neighbourhood of Covent Garden is another wonderful area to visit. With Christmas markets and beautiful decorations, it is not to be missed.

Paris Olympics 2024: The Torch Relay

July 6, 2024July 9, 2024 LMT Blog

Paris Olympics 2024 Torch Relay

There are only a few weeks to go before the official start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and the excitement can be felt all across the city.

As part of this, the Olympic Torch has been on a mission over the last months to meet as many people as possible to kick off the Games’ celebrations.

The Olympic Torch Relay reached French Guiana on the 9th of June, having travelled through continental France for a month. This marked the start of the Ocean Relay’s chapter. As a result, for the first time in its history, French Guiana became the first overseas territory of France to receive the Olympic Torch.

Following a very symbolic Amerindian ritual, the torch was lit before boarding a pirogue and travelling down the Oyapock River.

Layover tours direct from Heathrow Airport

Traveling through London Heathrow Airport and looking for something to do while waiting for your next flight?

Instead of just sitting at the airport, why not set off on a guided adventure and explore one of the world’s most historic cities? Depending on the length of your layover, you can tour London direct from the London airports with London Magical Tours, which offers a fantastic range of London Layover Tours to help you make the most of your time.

If you are considering Layover Tours from Heathrow Airport, London Magical Tours will pick up your party directly from your terminal of arrival with a sign. At the end you will be brought back direct to your departure terminal to simply go through airport security and continue on with your journey, without hassles or travel worries.

Chauffeur awaiting your arrival at Heathrow Airport

Every month, London Magical Tours receives thousands of happy guests on layovers at the London Airports, who choose to visit the capital and surrounding cities while on transit rather than staying at the airport.

There are many tour options available from the airport to suit a range of layover times, including London or neighbouring Windsor, home to the spectacular Windsor Castle.

If you’re short on time but still want to make the most of your visit, consider the Windsor, Hampton Court or Stonehenge tours, which are also all viable options direct from the London airports.

Spring is coming to London

As spring blooms and Easter approaches, why not celebrate this Spring break in the world’s greatest city? There is truly something for everyone during the Easter break in London.

Here are just some example of upcoming festive events to attend this Easter:

Classical Music

Easter, the largest Christian festival, has inspired many generations of composers. Regardless of your religion, you can experience some of the world’s finest compositions at the St Johns Smith Square music festival, which includes works by Schubert and Haydn, as well as a 300th anniversary celebration of Bach’s Passion.

Kew Gardens
As spring blooms, Kew Gardens is the perfect place to visit in March, an ideal location for an Easter weekend walkabout. There are plenty of pretty petals to find, from the Cherry Walk lined with pink-blossomed Japanese cherry trees, to the primrose and crocus-filled woodland garden.

The Passion of Christ Performance

This inspiring performance has become an Easter tradition in the heart of our capital, as Londoner’s witness a live re-telling of Jesus’ final days and resurrection. 100 performers will perform in Trafalgar Square on Good Friday.

Horniman Museum Spring Fair

The Horniman Museum’s fabulous annual spring fair features a variety of family-friendly activities including live music, craft workshops and stalls, face painting, children’s rides, a bouncy castle, giant games, food vendors and garden tours.
