The annual Christmas market is said to be bigger this year and Slava’s Snowshow will fill the Royal Festival Hall with snow and family fun. It may bring out the inner child within you.

Those looking for a more adult Christmas should head to hit cabaret show La Soirée which brings together burlesque and circus entertainment.

The Rekorderlig Cider Lodge will offer a Swedish-style drinking den featuring fire pit and delicious Swedish food daily from 10am until 10pm.

There are even skating club nights at weekends. 

Southbank Centre, 10am-11pm Mon-Sun.

Free.
