There’s something about the sight of Christmas lights that makes us want to tap dance across snowy rooftops with a chorus line of top-hatted snowmen.

Don’t pretend you don’t feel the same.

That’s because Christmas lights are thrilling and magical. Especially when they are in London. And especially when you are experiencing them on a festive city escape.

With today’s Big Deal, you get to see the best of London’s winter illuminations by night on an open top bus tour, while staying in a specially selected hotel with breakfast included.

We can’t promise tap dancing snowmen, but hopefully they’ll show up anyway.

Shimmer, sparkle and glitter

London comes alive at Christmas time when a razzle dazzle of festive illuminations transforms the city.

When the sun goes down, some of the city’s most iconic spots are transformed by twinkling fairy lights. Even Big Ben gets into the spirit of things and decks himself out in shimmers (bless his clockwork socks).

With this Big Deal, you’ll get to see the best of the best illuminations on an open top London bus tour by night.

Your tour will take in Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Marble Arch, the London Eye, Tower Bridge, and the extravagant window displays on busy Regent Street. The outing will take around one hour and 45 minutes.

Depending on when you go, you could also fit in some Christmas shopping or alternatively, a cheeky splurge on the new year sales.

Fabulous festive escape

This Big Deal is all about choices.

Should you travel down for a one night flying visit or give yourself an extra day of shopping and exploring over two nights? Up to you.

Should you stay in a 3 star hotel or upgrade to a 4 star one? Again, you choose.

Should you have muesli for breakfast or a full cooked English or maybe a muffin… OK, so you get the picture.

There are twenty-one specially selected London hotels with this offer, all in great locations with easy access to transport, allocated by OMGhotels on booking. Requests may be made but cannot be guaranteed.

Regardless, you will be staying in a double or twin room with a big comfy bed, en-suite bathroom with toiletries, wifi, flat screen TV with Freeview, and tea and coffee makers. All hotels offer quality service and a varied fresh breakfast every morning.
