There's nothing quite like London at Christmas. Twinkling lights, festive markets, and a city that seems to glow with holiday spirit making it the perfect backdrop for a winter escape. Whatever brings you to town this holiday season, Prestige Apartments will make sure you have a beautiful place to come home to.
Our serviced apartments combine comfort with genuine convenience: spacious, well-appointed spaces in prime locations, so you're never far from the action. Whether you're after family accommodation with room to spread out or a stylish base for a couple's break, after a day among London's Christmas markets, iconic landmarks, West End shows, or dazzling light displays, you can return to a space that feels like home.
Here are a few of the season's highlights — and the apartments that put you right in the middle of them.
Winter Wonderland is expected to transform Hyde Park into a dazzling winter landscape again this year, with ice skating, fairground rides, a Christmas circus, and its much-loved market (dates for 2026–27 are yet to be officially confirmed so it's worth checking closer to the time). It's a classic Christmas in London experience, and one of the busiest.
Stay close by at Cheval Hyde Park Gate Apartments, Hyde Park Apartments, or Fountain House Apartments.
For something a little more eclectic, the Southbank Centre Winter Market sits along the Thames and offers global cuisine, independent gifts, and beautiful river views to match.
Nearby, you'll find Southwark Residences, Bankside Apartments, and Verso Apartments, among others.
Covent Garden brings an elegant edge to the season, with its famous lights, giant Christmas tree, and festive shopping — a lovely spot for photos, and an easy walk from some of our most central serviced apartments in London.
Consider Garrick Street Apartments or St Martins Apartments for easy access.
Oxford Street, Regent Street, and Covent Garden are transformed each November with spectacular light displays that run right through to early January. A crisp winter evening is the perfect time for a stroll — and a few photos worth keeping.
Stay within easy reach at Soho Lofts Apartments, Emerald Street Apartments, Wigmore Suites, or Berwick Street Apartments.
No London Christmas is complete without a trip to the theatre. Festive favourites such as A Christmas Carol and The Nutcracker return each year, alongside seasonal musicals and family shows that are announced closer to the season. It's well worth checking listings at Covent Garden Royal Ballet & Opera House for a once in a lifetime experience. It's another reason families and couples alike choose family accommodation in the West End for their winter trip.
Stay central at Drury Apartments or Citadines Holborn
London's dining scene really comes into its own at Christmas, from cosy pub feasts to Michelin-starred tasting menus. A few favourites for the season include The Duke's Head in Putney, The Cadogan Arms in Chelsea, Fiume in Battersea, Daisy Green, La Terrazza Kensington, and The Ritz in Mayfair. If you want to really push the boat out why not try one of the 88 Michelin starred restaurants in London for a real christmas treat!
Few things capture the spirit of a London winter quite like ice skating beneath the lights. This season, Skate at Somerset House runs from 11 November 2026 to 10 January 2027, and the Hampton Court Palace Ice Rink from 20 November 2026 to 3 January 2027. Both of these are beautiful, reliably-running options. Glide at Battersea Power Station is also expected to return in November, with exact dates to be confirmed.
Craven House Apartments are perfect for Hampton Court, while Battersea Oyster Wharf Apartments are in just the spot to enjoy Glide!
