One of London's most picturesque festive markets, Christmas by the River is back for its sixth year in 2019. Against a backdrop of lovely London landmarks like Tower Bridge, the Tower of London and City Hall, the market in London Bridge brings together over 70 stalls selling gifts, food and drink. The market, housed in wooden huts, has everything you need to get ready for Christmas and you can join in with the free workshops on everything from food and drink tastings to Christmas wreath making, crafts and storytelling. New for this year is a vintage ski theme with a lodge bar at The Scoop where, after a few mulled wines, you can make believe you're in the snow covered Alps. There's also more live music scheduled for this year making the whole stretch from Tower Bridge to Hay's Galleria a wise choice for a riverside walk at this time of year.
About London Bridge
Up until 1750 London Bridge was the only bridge straddling the Thames and linking Southwark (the 'South Works') with Londinium. The bridge, in its various incarnations, has been built and re-built, destroyed by fire - three times - and sold since it was first constructed in 53 AD. More about London Bridge
