Covent Garden Santa Shopping Day
Get Christmas wrapped up early with a wonderfully festive day out in the heart of London!
Join Richard Taylor Travel for our Santa Shopping Day to Covent Garden, giving you the perfect opportunity to start your Christmas shopping, soak up the atmosphere of London’s West End and enjoy a relaxing day away — all without the hassle of driving, parking or navigating the train.
As the festive season begins, Covent Garden transforms into one of London’s most magical destinations. Its historic Market Building, elegant piazza, cobbled streets and surrounding lanes provide a wonderful backdrop for Christmas shopping, seasonal treats and a little festive indulgence.
Whether you have a Christmas list to work through, fancy treating yourself, or simply want to enjoy a day in London with friends or family, our Santa Shopping Day is a fantastic way to begin the countdown to Christmas.
Christmas Shopping in Covent Garden
Covent Garden is one of London’s best-known shopping destinations, combining famous brands with independent boutiques, specialist shops, market stalls and unusual gift ideas.
Explore the beautiful Apple Market, where you can browse stalls and discover gifts, crafts and collectables, before wandering through the Market Building and surrounding streets.
From fashion, beauty and jewellery to homeware, accessories, food, stocking fillers and something a little different, there is plenty of inspiration for those searching for Christmas presents.
And because this is a day at leisure, there is no organised itinerary to follow once you arrive. You can shop at your own pace and spend the day exactly as you wish.
Experience Covent Garden at Christmas
Christmas is a particularly special time to visit Covent Garden.
The area is renowned for its spectacular festive transformation, with its famous Christmas tree and impressive seasonal decorations helping to create a magical atmosphere amongst the historic buildings and cobbled streets.
Grab a warming drink, browse the shops, stop for something delicious to eat and enjoy the sights and sounds of London as the capital begins its Christmas celebrations.
There are also plenty of opportunities for those all-important festive photographs!
More Than Just Shopping
You certainly don't have to spend the whole day shopping.
Covent Garden's central location means there is an enormous amount to see and do within the surrounding area.
Take a stroll towards Seven Dials and Neal's Yard, enjoy the street performers around Covent Garden Piazza, explore the surrounding streets or simply find a café or restaurant and watch the world go by.
Those wishing to venture a little further can easily explore other parts of London's West End, with Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, Chinatown, Soho, Regent Street and Oxford Street all within reach.
You could therefore use the day for some serious Christmas shopping, combine shopping with sightseeing, meet friends for lunch, or simply enjoy a leisurely day in London.
Food, Drinks & Festive Treats
A shopping day wouldn't be complete without stopping for something tasty along the way.
Covent Garden and the surrounding West End offer everything from coffee shops and bakeries to traditional pubs, international restaurants, stylish bars and well-known dining venues.
Enjoy a relaxed lunch, stop for coffee and cake or treat yourself to something seasonal while soaking up the atmosphere.
With the day yours to enjoy, you can make your Santa Shopping Day as busy or as leisurely as you like.
