London Festive Soirée | Sunday 1st December 2013

On Sunday 1st December, Kev and I and a group of friends got together before the year 2012 descends and before we all become engaged with all the chaotic-ness, the festive season brings.

We started off with a spot of lunch in Chinatown before heading to Somerset House Outdoor Ice-skating rink to watch the ice skaters in full swing before heading to the Christmas Arcade within Somerset House. We were graced with delightfully set up festive stalls, gendering and wondering into each room which were selling all different things before making our way towards the ‘The Southbank Centre’ at the Embankment, where there was a further Christmas Market to explore.
It was a traditional, beautifully lit, German style Christmas Market with authentic wooden chalets selling all things nice and Christmassy. Definitely giving us all that magical winter atmosphere, especially when there is the aroma of spiced mulled wine, roasted nuts and gingerbread amidst in the air….

I post a selection of photos taken throughout the day as I wanted to share the enchantment along the River Thames with you…
