Question of the week: Do you have any London-based festive traditions? "Oops - we missed a few days of blog - my apologies. It's a busy time of semester, as well as a busy time of year, for us all.
It's appropriate, really, that one of my personal traditions is to meet up with one of my oldest friends to do all our Christmas shopping on the day before Christmas Eve, which is a tradition partly because both of us are so busy at work in December it's the only chance we get!
I'm not really a recreational shopper, but just once a year, and in the right company, it makes for a good day around town, We usually do a loop that takes in Covent Garden, Soho, Oxford Street, and the Camden markets, which between them deliver gifts for all tastes. Plus, it's part of our tradition that we visit several of our favourite coffee shops en route, and that we get to collapse into a black cab to be driven home in style and comfort when we're done."- Miss Alice
