Christmas is a time of year steeped in tradition. Want to know where some of those traditions come from?
At the beginning of the 19th century Christmas was hardly celebrated. Many businesses did not even consider it a holiday. But by the end of the century it had become the biggest annual celebration and took on the form we recognise today.
Explore the themes of a Victorian Christmas on a private tour. Take a journey through the City of London and into the City of Westminster, sharing insights and anecdotes about how Victorians celebrated Christmas. Embark on a historic journey this Christmas and discover the origins of some of the season’s most cherished traditions.
The City of London is awash with narrow alleyways reminding us of its historic past and it is on this walk where we have the opportunity to explore their evocative nature. Hazel, your knowledgeable guide will lead you through the winding streets of London, sharing anecdotes and insights about how Victorians celebrated the Christmas.
