London Magical Tours’ award winning Christmas lights tours return for 2024 and are the ideal winter night out to see the best of the capital during the most wonderful time of the year.

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.

A Traditional Royal Christmas

A Very Merry Christmas Card from the Royal Family

All families have their own Christmas traditions. Whether it’s baking gingerbread cookies, taking part in carol singing or simply getting together to watch your favourite holiday movies.

But have you ever wondered how the Royal family celebrate the lead up to Christmas?

Read on to hear some of the better known Royal family Christmas traditions. You can learn more about the secretive ones on London Magical Tours’ award winning London Christmas Lights Tours.

When do the Royal Family exchange gifts? Clue: It’s not Christmas Day!

One of the most famous Royal family traditions was introduced by Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria. In line with German tradition, the Royal family actually exchange their gifts on the 24th of December, Christmas Eve. The gifts are then laid out on tables for each family member to open after tea time (that’s after dinner for our non-UK cousins).

Christmas Day service – At Sandringham

The monarch traditionally spends Christmas at the residence known as Sandringham, a countryside estate in Norfolk. The invited Royal family members visiting that year are then given an allocated time to arrive at Sandringham: the youngest member arrives first and the eldest member last. Once everyone has arrived, the final touches are put on the Christmas tree, a tradition also made popular by Prince Albert.

Christmas Day begins with the Sandringham Christmas Day service, where the Royal family attend mass and step out of the St Mary Magdalene Church to greet the public.

To conclude Christmas Day, King Charles will continue the tradition of broadcasting a speech to the country and across the Commonwealth. As the speech is pre-recorded, the royal family will watch it together after their Christmas lunch. In previous years this has include prawns or lobster for starters, a turkey with all the trimmings as the main course – and Christmas pudding with brandy for dessert.
