One of the most popular markets in London, with its wooden houses in perfect German style and many proposals for Christmas gifts. A must during a winter trip to London.
I love South London, I love the Thames and the walks along its banks. Throughout the year, as soon as I have free time, I go with friends or just to have a look and during the Christmas period I have another reason to go: London Southbank Christmas Market, along Queen's Walk.
From November 11 to January 4, 2014 the stretch of bank running from London Eye at Waterloo Bridge will be used, for the fifth year in a row, as the location for the 80 chalets that make up the Christmas market. Filled"German Style"You will be able to buy unusual gifts, wooden artifacts, spiced wine, caramelized hazelnuts, gingerbread and other typical Christmas delicacies.
The beauty of these markets is that the retrospective is easily accessible and in a very touristy area. You won't have to turn around too much to see them and theirs. We are used to seeing such wooden houses only in Germany, and not in grey London! On the other hand, however, the market, being one of the most touristy, is also one of the busiest, so be prepared.
The market is interesting not only to buy some typical or traditional object, but also simply to come for a bite to eat or to arrange a date with friends. Here we usually meet after work for a hot drink and at the weekend to be together, have a beer and have fun while waiting to decide what to do for the evening.
If you are traveling with children you will be glad that there will also be chalets completely dedicated to them, inside which will be organized workshops to create Christmas artifacts. The market is open every day and is ideal if you are in London during the month of December and you are also in the mood to try the bridge tour, so you can combine a rich walk with an enjoyable event.
