London: Private Christmas Lights Taxi Tour｜United Kingdom

For so many of us, the magic of Christmas is tied up with the strings of lights that twinkle like stars in the sky, which were wrapped around our Christmas trees, and Homes as children, or the soft candle-glow of a Carol concert. These delightful displays of glimmering lights fill us with hope, joy, and the warm glow that comes with celebrating Christmas. Since the 1950s the Christmas lights in central London have helped lure us out of the darkness of the winter, and have inspired the magic of Christmas. Many families from across the UK and further afield have taken time out of their busy festive schedules to travel to London to see the Christmas lights. Generations of families have visited London and stood chilled by the cold Christmas air and damp December weather looking at the latest Christmas lights and the annually changing window displays of the grand London Department Stores such as Fortnum and Mason, and Harrods. In fact, seeing the Christmas lights is as much a Christmas tradition as shops that are stuffed like Turkeys, Mince Pies, and Mulled Wine.

But why brave the wild winter air, get wet (it’s December after all) and catch a chill, when you can see all the best bits of London’s Christmas Lights from the comfort of a London Cab? Starting and finishing at a central London location of your choosing, this tour keeps you warm and dry whilst showing you the best bits of Christmas that London has to offer. Led by a knowledgeable and qualified driver/guide, they will explain the history of the Christmas Lights and Christmas window displays, as well as sharing some Christmassy London secrets such as the origin of the original Trafalgar Square Christmas Tree.
