      I think I'll stay at home and save money. 😀

      If you have any interest in the old London docks you can find some vids on YT.

      Also, there is The Pool of London 1951 movie (available on DVD) that shows the old docks. Especially interesting are the views around Shad Thames, Tower Bridge and Pickle Herring Street where the former City Hall is.

      As a Londoner I would clarify your statement for overseas visitors, "There is nothing more magical than Christmas in London." You are quite correct in that the BUILD UP to Christmas from early November is magical but actual Christmas …. Christmas Day & Boxing Day & the following few days are dull, dreadful & boring. Transport does not move on Christmas Day with Boxing Day limited services. Plus virtually all overland railway lines into/out of London do engineering works Dec. 24th to Jan. 1st so it is almost impossible to get into London. In fact this festive season is the worst ever for closed down rail services due to works. So in short do NOT plan a visit to London for actual Christmas – it is awful.

      Markets by the river Thames is captivating,one can look over across the river the tower bridge, gazing at you ,it's beautiful spot to eat something as well as to have the view of river, breathing the breeze which is fresh and calming.its preparation before hand of Christmas,and in this cold weather it's good way to feel warm by strolling round many markets.The Spitalfield I think is far more interesting.but it's beautiful video,you are looking great

      It's just overkill! I mean who the hell wants to walk about bloody freezing, maybe get mugged, hypothermia or frostbite, just to get fleeced with these markets? I will buy a big issue and give a few bob extra to those less fortunate than me! Get back to true Christmas values, makes you feel better!

      I've been watching these videos, and I have to say, really enjoying them. Imo the most entertaining travel channel I've seen on youtube so far, you can feel the excitement.
