For visitors to London’s Christmas markets, the Victoria League Student House in Leinster Square offers accommodation in a historic building from just £33 a night
As one of London’s best-loved Christmas markets reopens this week, a leading tourism expert reveals her pick of London’s top seasonal fairs. Find out which to visit and how out-of-town Christmas shoppers can stay in the capital for a song… Or should that be a carol?
LONDON, UK, 2024-Nov-01 — /Travel PR News/ — It may seem only moments ago since we were rubbing in the sun cream but one of London’s best Christmas markets is already opening its gates this week. Now a leading travel expert chooses the capital’s top Seasonal Seven Christmas markets. She also shares her secret to staying in London on a shoestring – or at least a Christmas stocking string.
Lily Smith, a travel expert from the specialist accommodation finder UniversityRooms.com, says: ‘Christmas markets are among the highlights of the season and London boasts many of the most interesting and atmospheric in the country. It wouldn’t be Christmas without a seasonal stroll through colourful stands laden with gifts. There are always wonderful craft products to discover while sipping steaming mulled wine and nibbling hot chestnuts.
‘Sadly, some wonderful regional Christmas markets have disappeared in recent years. For example, it is sad that Lincoln’s wonderful and historic market has been cancelled. However, London’s Christmas venues are thriving. As well as traditional fairs that Charles Dickens would feel at home in, new specialist markets seem to spring up every year. Some of them are unmissable for the canny shopper on a budget.
‘For seasonal shoppers who live outside of London, staying in the capital can be very expensive, even outside peak tourist season. University rooms have become an increasingly popular budget option during the summer months, when they are not in use by students. The great news is that a number of student accommodation centres are available during term time this autumn and winter, including:
‘This December, the Victoria League Student House in Leinster Square offers accommodation in a historic building from just £33 a night. It dates back to 1853 and features beautiful gardens. Like all UniversityRooms.com properties, you don’t have to be a student to rent a room there. However, it is specifically intended for young people aged 18 to 30 to stay safely in London. One final caveat: it has a (very friendly and non-shedding breed) house dog on site!
‘It doesn’t take an educated guess to realise that more limited university term-time accommodation is likely to get booked up. For more information and to book your London stay, see: https://www.universityrooms.com/city/london/home/
