A night time market in a favourite spot

I have not been here quite as often as I might have liked in the past 6 months but its one of the places that reminds me of why I love London. A friend asked me if I was interested in going to a riverside Christmas market. It sounded like fun but I was not too sure how a visit to a market in the cold, after dark and by the river would turn out. The location sealed the deal!

London’s Southbank is my favourite spot in London. But that’s a story for another day.

The food market is located outside the Royal Festival Hall and the Christmas market is along the river walk right infront of the Southbank centre.

Bulgarian Hog Sandwich *Yum!

Dance. Love. Sing. Live

Chocolate Bar / Gingerbread House

Fairy Lights… So dreamy & Chrismassy :)

I have no idea how long the market has been running but it closes at 10pm this season and therefore a quick dash to Waterloo after work might be nice..

Straight from a movie…

If I were an actress, LOL :) love this place!

This story is best told by the photos,,, from the biting cold to the yummy food, to the decorations, to the carousel, to the overhead trains and the antiques.. Southbank Christmas market is worth a visit!

the view on the bridge alongside the Charing cross trains… ahhh London!

Have you visited a night time market before? What did you like/hate about it?

    I’ll be honest, I think Southbank is my favourite area on earth but I didn’t make it to the Christmas markets last year! Very sad. I shall have t make up for it over the summer. Do you work nearby?

      no, I work in Holborn… which is boring but I used to use Charing Cross station a lot before I got work… we should team up over the Summer and hit the SB markets…

        Definitely! I’d love to get together and see some markets. Charing Cross is right near my work.
