And Traveling the World
There’s so much to do in London that I could spend my whole life here and never feel like I’ve ticked all the boxes. But some things happen every year, so I get a second (and third, and tenth) chance. As such, today I want to share 51 things to do in London in 2026 with you. Or 2027. Or whatever year you get around to doing them.
Walthamstow. Awesomestow. Whatever you call it, this London neighborhood is worth exploring. Which is funny, because I’ve lived in London for over 10 years and haven’t. Until today, when I take the Victoria line to the last stop to see what the excitement is about. I’ve heard there are a lot of things to do in Walthamstow, and I can’t wait to find them.
Today I want to share my guide to the best ice skating rinks in London. If you’re interested in gliding across the ice this winter, these are the top places to do it in the UK capital. I’ve included a map, too.
My favorite thing about this time of year is visiting Christmas markets. One year I flew to Germany for a day just to visit the ones in Cologne. A few weeks ago I made a special trip to Edinburgh for its big markets. And now I’m heading to York to explore the city’s offerings and put together a York Christmas market guide for you.
