Savour the vibrant flavours of London’s culinary scene – where every bite tells a story.

London has officially claimed its place at the top — ranked the number one city in the world for food by TripAdvisor.

Long gone are the days of London as just pub classics: it’s now a true global culinary powerhouse, shaped by cultures and flavours from every corner of the world.

Michelin-starred restaurants sit alongside buzzing food markets and lively neighbourhood eateries, offering exceptional meals at every price point. Experiencing the capital’s vibrant food scene is even more special when paired with a curated private London night tours experience, where iconic landmarks and unforgettable dining moments come together seamlessly.

 

Where Global Flavours Meet Evening Atmosphere

Culinary diversity defines London.  From British to French, Italian to Peruvian, there is something for every taste bad. What’s more, including a special evening meal as part of a private night tour transforms dinner into part of a journey, allowing visitors to enjoy exceptional flavours while discovering hidden corners and off the beaten path areas of the capital at night.

 

Experience London’s landmarks illuminated at night, adding magic to every private night tour.

A Night Tour Designed For You

After dark, London reveals a more intimate personality. Private night tours offer the freedom to explore the capital in a calmer manner once the tourists have left for the day, with the flexibility to include a dining experience to suit your tastes. This is where VIP London night tours truly stand out — personalised routes, thoughtful pacing and carefully chosen restaurants ensure your meal becomes an essential part of an unforgettable evening.

A Traditional Royal Christmas

A Very Merry Christmas Card from the Royal Family

All families have their own Christmas traditions. Whether it’s baking gingerbread cookies, taking part in carol singing or simply getting together to watch your favourite holiday movies.

But have you ever wondered how the Royal family celebrate the lead up to Christmas?

Read on to hear some of the better known Royal family Christmas traditions. You can learn more about the secretive ones on London Magical Tours’ award winning London Christmas Lights Tours.

 

Present exchange

When do the Royal Family exchange gifts? Clue: It’s not Christmas Day!

One of the most famous Royal family traditions was introduced by Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria. In line with German tradition, the Royal family actually exchange their gifts on the 24th of December, Christmas Eve. The gifts are then laid out on tables for each family member to open after tea time (that’s after dinner for our non-UK cousins).

Christmas Day service – At Sandringham

The monarch traditionally spends Christmas at the residence known as Sandringham, a countryside estate in Norfolk. The invited Royal family members visiting that year are then given an allocated time to arrive at Sandringham: the youngest member arrives first and the eldest member last. Once everyone has arrived, the final touches are put on the Christmas tree, a tradition also made popular by Prince Albert.

Christmas Day begins with the Sandringham Christmas Day service, where the Royal family attend mass and step out of the St Mary Magdalene Church to greet the public.

To conclude Christmas Day, King Charles will continue the tradition of broadcasting a speech to the country and across the Commonwealth. As the speech is pre-recorded, the royal family will watch it together after their Christmas lunch. In previous years this has include prawns or lobster for starters, a turkey with all the trimmings as the main course – and Christmas pudding with brandy for dessert.
