About

It’s time to get into the festive spirit with an invitation to visit Santa’s grotto at Tower Gateway DLR station and board the Christmas train to meet Santa and his helpers.  Upon your visit you can enjoy exploring Santa’s home, take a memorable photograph with the man himself and receive a very special gift!

Visitors will also have the opportunity to have their face painted by an artist, make “magical” reindeer food for Santa’s helpers and take part in the DLR Christmas Rescue!
