ROCS Guided Holidays 6-Day Lapland & London Escape

DAY 3 CHRISTMAS IN LONDON (SUGGESTED ITINERARY DAY AT LEISURE)

Start your Christmas Day with a hearty breakfast at your hotel before heading out to attend a special Christmas Day service at one of London’s iconic cathedrals, such as the magnificent St. Paul’s Cathedral. Immerse yourself in the festive atmosphere and enjoy the beautiful choral music in this historic setting. After the service, make your way to Hampton Pool for a refreshing and invigorating Christmas Day dip in the heated outdoor pool. Swimming under the open sky, perhaps with a light dusting of snow, is a unique and exhilarating way to celebrate the holiday. Be sure to book your tickets in advance, as this festive tradition is popular. In the afternoon, embark on the *Sights and Sounds of London* tour, a panoramic exploration of the city’s most famous landmarks. Sit back in a luxury coach as your professional guide brings the history and traditions of London to life with an informative commentary. You’ll see iconic sights such as Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Downing Street, Trafalgar Square, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Tower of London. As the evening approaches and you’re feeling peckish, break away from traditional Christmas fare and head to Chinatown. Many restaurants in the area remain open, offering a wide range of delicious Chinese dishes. Enjoy a leisurely meal in one of the local establishments, taking advantage of the quieter streets to explore the vibrant area. For dinner, consider pre-booking a table at a nearby restaurant to ensure a stress-free evening. Whether you choose a cozy local pub or a fine dining experience, making a reservation ahead of time will guarantee you a delicious and relaxing end to your Christmas Day in London.
