 London is buzzing this week, so if you’re wondering what to do, let’s dive straight into some of the best things happening across the city.

According to IanVisits, one of the most charming ways to start the day is with the monthly guided tour of the Van Gogh House in Stockwell, where you can step inside the modest home that once hosted Vincent himself, hear stories of his London years, and explore the architecture and careful restoration work up close. Later in the morning, the London Transport Museum’s Acton Depot is running its monthly art and poster store tour, taking listeners behind the scenes of their world‑class poster archive, with rare original artworks and classic Underground designs laid out in the stores like a secret gallery you’ve been given the keys to.

If you’re feeling festive, Secret London reports that Winter Funland is transforming Olympia into Europe’s biggest indoor Christmas funfair, with a huge ice rink, circus shows, fairground rides, and all‑you‑can‑ride tickets that make it perfect for families or anyone who wants maximum Christmas with minimum cold. Down on the South Bank, Secret London also highlights Hot To Ho Ho Ho: A Girly Pop Christmas Disco at Between The Bridges, a free night where you can dance beside the Thames to Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish and more, with drag performances and twinkling skyline views.

For something a little quirkier mid‑week, Secret London says Brixton’s indoor rooftop is turning into Nakatomi Plaza for the immersive Dine Hard experience, complete with themed cocktails, 80s and 90s hits, and classic Christmas action movies on the big screen amid neon, fake snow, and street food stalls channelling New York and East Asia. Horror fans should know that Louder Sound reports Ice Nine Kills are bringing their Silver Scream Con to the Cumberland Hotel near Marble Arch this weekend, with horror‑themed panels, cosplay, and a whole convention built around scary movies and heavy riffs.

Evenings are made for lights right now. DesignMyNight points listeners toward London’s Christmas illuminations: wander from Carnaby Street’s bold themed displays to Covent Garden’s giant baubles and tree, then along Oxford Street and Regent Street under their glowing halos. For a bigger, ticketed light trail, you can head out to Kew Gardens or Kenwood House to stroll through tunnels of colour, projection shows on historic buildings, and steaming mulled‑wine stalls in the dark.

Theatre lovers are spoiled too. London Theatreland notes that Raymond Briggs’ The Snowman is on at the Peacock Theatre throughout December, a word‑light, music‑rich show that’s ideal if you want a classic Christmas story brought to life with flying sequences, live orchestra, and plenty of nostalgia.
