I may be biased, but I think no other city does Christmas quite like London. Everywhere you turn in the capitol is dressed up—from grand hotel facades to townhouse front doors. When you stumble upon some of these spots, you can’t help but smile and get excited for the coming season.

Yes, it can be stressful and hectic, but Christmas in London might also just be the most wonderful time of year.

Since we only had one full day in the city, we planned our trip very precisely to make the most of our time - here's our itinerary for a weekend in London.

Though we could have spent hours upon hours exploring the charming streets of Notting Hill and the beautiful parks nearby, my husband and I had a few classic London landmarks and activities on our to-do list.
