So the lights are on, and London is ready for Christmas. Of course its beginning to look a lot like Christmas and New Years is only around the corner; the trees are up, the lights are on, and the seasonal songs have already began to annoy us since November. However, this December prepare yourself for some serious festive cheer this season in London.  

The first place to visit in London at December is the Canary Wharf Ice Rink. From its festive disco lights to its loud mainstream music, the Ice Rink is the best ice breaker;). Whether it be for a date or a way to hang out with a group of friends, the Ice Rink is so easy to get to from all areas and a great source of entertainment for an hour.  

Of course you cant go to London in December without going to see the lights at Oxford Circus and Regent Street. The turning of the lights is one of the most expensive times of the year, however all the money is going towards the charity NSPCC. By donating five pounds to the charity, you are able to name a star that was up in Oxford for someone special.
