The festive feeling returns as Christmas in Leicester Square transforms the famous square in the centre of London into a wintery wonderland. There's a traditional Christmas market with stalls selling hand-crafted goods and delicious food and drinks. The man with all the presents takes up residence in Santa's grotto where children can meet the man himself, plus there's a whole host of shows in the beautiful surrounds of a traditional 1920s spiegeltent. Frisky & Mannish, Monski Mouse, the Briefs boys and the House of Burlesque are just four of the acts lined up. It's organised by Underbelly who helped develop Winter at Southbank Centre and who are best known in London for their Wonderground festivals on the Southbank.
About Leicester Square
With Trafalgar Square to the south, Piccadilly Circus to the west, China Town to the north and Covent Garden to the east, Leicester Square is right in the thick of The West End. It is the beating heart of British cinema, with all the major European premieres happening there - you'll often see crowds of fans, expectantly awaiting the arrival of the stars outside one of the state-of-the-art cinemas which line the square.
