London Christmas Lights Tours – Behind the Scenes Look

September 17, 2026September 16, 2026 LMT Blog

With the announcement of the dates for this year’s London Holiday Lights Tour, join us on a special behind the scenes look, as we follow a family on our annual special, the Private Magical Christmas London Tour (3 hours).

After being picked up from their Central London accommodation, the family went on a magical journey of Christmas through the ages, led by their own team: a professional tour guide, plus their own chauffeur.

The addition of a chauffeur is a London Magical Tours exclusivity – and as our returning guests always comment – it makes a huge difference to the experience, especially at such a busy time of year. First in line, every time, with no parking worries. Plus our chauffeurs know all the best Christmas music to create the festive spirit, as you move between the best of the London Christmas locations.

Christmas Lights and Decorations

One of the highlights of the Private Magical Christmas London Tour is being able to go in search of some of London’s best Christmas lights and decorations – much more than just the lights. London is unique in that each neighbourhood has its own set of holiday lights and decorations – making Christmas time the best part of the year to discover the capital.

Our guests took their time exploring, stopping for photos and loved learning about each festive neighbourhood at their own pace. Just look at these oversized Christmas baubles!

The Magic of Christmas in London

The tour continued with the family joining their professional guide on guided walks to help bringing the London Christmas story to life. There was plenty of time to stop for photos, enjoy the sights and make the most of their evening without being tied to a large group. Our London Christmas lights tours are designed for that – to make exploring London comfortable, personal and memorable.
