CHRISTMAS IN LONDON GUIDE: Christmas markets & things to do!
Welcome to my London escapade! In this video, I’ll wander through the bustling Christmas markets of England’s capital, discovering everything from handmade crafts to mouth-watering street food. And that’s not all! I’ll also experience the enchanting atmosphere of the Royal Albert Hall during a special Christmas performance. Come along for a festive day filled with sights, sounds, and holiday cheer!
*Regarding Lner Luggage Buddy:* I have seen mixed reviews regarding this service, mostly a good reviews. I guess that I picked the wrong time of year. I wanted to give my honest opinion on this, on my experience of the service.
It was picked up on Wednesday 4th December, for delivery on the 5th December, but didn't arrive to the hotel till the 6th December (When we had already checked out). It was supposed to picked up on the 6th December to be returned the next day. (Watch Part Two and see description on when I finally got it back!).
I did say in the video that I wouldn't use it again, but maybe I will try again in the future. Who knows. Have you tried this service? Let me know in the comments.
