Christmas 2026

This Christmas, make Greenwich your festive destination.

From poinsettias to panto, sparkle to Santa, there’s something for everyone!

Nothing says Christmas in Greenwich like the Lantern Parade and Christmas Light switch-on, where hundreds of people join the procession of school children carrying hand-made lanterns from the grounds of the Old Royal Naval College through to Greenwich Market where Santa is waiting to press the magic switch to kick-start Christmas.

Glide with a view around the spectacular Queen House Ice Rink, with breathtaking views of the London skyline that cannot be beaten.

The panto at Greenwich Theatre is one of the best in London ‘oh no it isn’t….oh yes it is’ receiving top reviews and ratings every year.

If your style is more sophisticated than Santa, or even adventure over advent (!) check out the Snow Globe climb at Up at the 02 where you are guaranteed a wintery snow shower.

With a plethora or festive eats and drinks together with a wide range of accomodation on offer to extend your stay – why look any further than the ‘home of time’ for your perfect festive season.
