1. London: one big winter wonderland
Harrods, Liberty, Selfridges, Oxford Street, Regent Street... London is bursting with shopping venues. At Fortnum & Mason, the Christmas experience is a cherished tradition. In this Victorian department store nestled in the bustling shopping district, you can admire the whimsical Christmas decorations and the impressive life-sized advent calender that graces the facade.
The range of hampers brimming with festive goodies, Christmas crackers, and holiday tableware is truly remarkable, and the scones at the Diamond Jubilee Tea Salon are nothing short of divine. With cheerful Christmas tunes playing in the background, the atmosphere is simply magical. Here's a tip: grab the Strawberry & Champagne Preserve along with the Fortnum's Famous Tea selection and have it beautifully wrapped in a personalized Santa sack!
