Christmas in London ~ Activities for under 5’s

London truly is one of the most magical places to be during the holiday season. The light displays, Santa grottos, activities, (and crowds) are seemingly endless.

So I’ve done the work for you and rounded up the best festive activities for babies and toddlers in London.

 

Every year Kew Gardens in Richmond puts on the most incredible light displays. Even the littlest ones can enjoy through a sensory experience.
