Photo of Christmas lights in London<\/div>\n<\/div>They say there\u2019s only twelve days of Christmas, but the holiday season in London<\/a> lasts much longer than that.<\/strong> Throughout December and January, nonstop events and attractions get visitors in the spirit and take the chill out of winter. With carols, holiday lights and ice skating all over town, what better place to stay than a New York Habitat vacation rental in London<\/a>? We know it\u2019s on your wish list!<\/p>\n

For eco-friendly, festive food\u2014and free samples!\u2014head to the Christmas Market at Inn the Park restaurant in St. James\u2019s Park, Westminster<\/a>.<\/strong> Traditional British favorites will be on hand and we guarantee visions of sugar plums and figgy pudding for all!<\/p>\n

To see the city of London lit up with colorful lights, bundle up for a walk from Marylebone<\/a> to Regent\u2019s Street and Carnaby<\/strong>. But while your eyes are wide with wonder, don\u2019t forget to keep an ear out for carols by candlelight at Royal Albert Hall and Westminster Abbey.<\/p>\n

For traditionalists, nothing beats The Nutcracker by the Royal Ballet or Footsbarns traveling theatre Christmas show at Shakespeare\u2019s Globe<\/strong>. Or start your own tradition with Christmas on the Canal at City Road Basin Plaza, featuring boat trips, a snow machine and even Santa\u2019s grotto.<\/p>\n

Sure, London\u2019s Royal Parks<\/strong> are the perfect places to spend summer days, but on winter evenings, you can curl up in a tent-like yurt around a warm stove with a glass of mulled wine and listen to the Mid-winter Stories taking place there<\/strong>. Of course, if that sounds a little too toasty for you, there are always the gorgeously lit ice skating rinks at Hampton Court Palace and Somerset House (West End<\/a>) or the Absolut Icebar on Heddon Street, Mayfair<\/a>, to get your blood pumping that much quicker.<\/p>\n

With so much to do and see in London this holiday season, you won\u2019t want to miss a moment of anything. Stay in the middle of it all in a conveniently located New York Habitat apartment rental in London<\/a>, such as:
