If you’re staying in a serviced apartment in Muswell Hill over the Christmas period, there’ll be plenty of activities going on to keep you occupied for as much time as you’ve got… and more!

Things to do in Muswell Hill

Alexandra Palace – Virtually on your doorstep is the famous ‘Ally Pally’ which has a huge variety of things to do including:

• Skating – the indoor ice rink isn’t just for Christmas, it’s all year round
• Walking – if it’s a nice day, take a walk around the park
• ‘Gliding’ – take a segway rally around the grounds
• Boating – take a turn around the lake in a dragon-shaped boat!

Alternatively, you could go and see the latest movies in comfort and style at the boutique Everyman Cinema. Or just mooch around the town centre exploring all the of interesting little independent shops and cafés.

Things to do in Central London

As you’ll be staying in London, you might as well make the most of being so close to the tourist attractions:

A cruise on the River Thames – it may be the middle of winter, but you can take time out from the hustle and bustle in the warm. Enjoy the warm and dry of the lounge with a cup of tea whilst finding more out about the London landmarks from the entertaining commentary. If you go all the way to Greenwich, use the opportunity to explore the famous Greenwich Market, or book a package to visit the Royal Observatory. And if you’re still feeling Christmassy, push the boat out with a Champagne and Fromage Cruise! Even better, there’s a 35% discount every Monday to Friday.

Look behind you! – why not take the kids to the pantomime, after all, it is Christmas (altogether now: “Oh no it isn’t!” “Oh yes it is!”).

The Science Museum – mathematics may not feel like a festive subject, but you could be one of the first people to see an innovative new gallery at the Science Museum which takes a bold and thought-provoking look at how mathematics has shaped our world.

Visit a garden in the sky – even in the depths of winter, the Sky Garden is worth a visit because the garden is indoors, albeit 155 meters up. Admission is free, but you will need to book online as numbers are limited.

Afternoon tea – you can’t get more English than an afternoon tea and London is full of great places to find one, whether you decide to treat yourself at a top hotel, have an afternoon tea on a London bus tour, a Mad Hatter-themed tea, or find something in a more modest café.
