Christmas is often a time for festive getaways, and though under the current tier system it is becoming increasingly difficult to do so, at the beginning of December there were an array of London hotels lit up and ready to welcome guests. One of the main ways to help local hotels is to opt for a holiday at home, giving yourself a little bit of rest and relaxation in a new environment. Though this may not be possible for now, there is plenty of time to plan your next city break.
