Winter in London is gorgeous. The lights and sounds of the season ring through the city. The architecture is truly beautiful and tells a story of the history in Europe. The music, the food, the culture, they’re all very telling of London’s rich history. Even Stansted Airport has a long history.

There is a Starbucks inside Stansted Airport where you can purchase ready to drink seasonal coffee and cookies. To get in the holiday spirit you may want to stop by a local market or cafe and buy some peppermint bark, candy canes, or ginger bread cookies.

Reserve your car from the Stansted car hire ahead of time to be sure you’ll have transportation for your Winter vacation in London. You wouldn’t want to wait at a bus stop in the cold on your vacation. Our car hire price comparison search tool will help you find the lowest priced car in your target location so you’ll save some money for your vacation.

If you’re bringing your children along you may want to take them to Storytelling at Tower Bridge. This event is held during three weekends leading up to Christmas and will get your kids in the holiday spirit. For last minute stocking stuffers go to the annual Christmas Market held from the eighteenth until the twenty second. Up until Christmas Eve Leadenhall Market is having a Dickensian Fair. Everything is about Charles Dickens in this years’ Christmas in the City. Shops and restaurants will be participating in this event. It will be fun for the whole family.
