✨ A seasonal guide to savoring the Christmas magic in London. November marks the start of one of the most magical seasons in London. The city begins to sparkle with the holiday spirit, and there’s a unique joy in taking it all in—whether through seasonal festivities, cozy treats, or festive walks. I've created this guide to help you savor Christmastime in London.

🌸 Primrose Hill is one of the prettiest neighborhoods in London. Situated in North London and easily accessible, it's a peaceful escape from the bustling city. It comes alive on the weekends when locals and visitors alike come to admire the gorgeous skyline view on a stroll through or picnic in the park. This guide contains some must-sees from the perspective of a local (hi!) for a great day exploring beautiful Primrose Hill. Highlights include: 🏠 Strolling down colorful streets 🥐 Grabbing a pastry & coffee at a local cafe 🍻 Quaint pubs to laze the afternoon away 🏙️ A breathtaking view of the London skyline To work Primrose Hill into your London trip itinerary, you'll need just a couple of hours (which of course depends on how long you spend at the park or in the pub!). I suggest combining Primrose Hill with a walk through Regent's Park towards Marylebone, a walk down the canal to Camden or head a bit further north to Hampstead. If you're looking to stay in Primrose Hill, a boutique hotel just opened called Mason & Fifth.

📚 I love a good bookstore. Everywhere I travel, I like to visit the best local bookshops, and that's no different in my home city of London. From quaint literary havens to trendy reader's paradises, London is filled with bookish gems and these are some of my favorite for you visit on your next trip to London.

🌷 Unwind & recharge in these pockets of lush and tranquil green space that offer a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of London. Here are some of the best spots to picnic, claim a park bench, or simply lay down in the grass or against a tree as many Londoners do!

🍔 Burgers are one of my favorite foods, so wherever I go, I make a point of seeking out the best ones. From my personal experience thus far, the burger transcends cultures, with each country putting their own spin on this universally-loved dish. It made the most sense to begin with London, my adopted home, and a city brimming with burger tasting opportunity. Having tried many spots over the last 4 years, I bring to you, a (very) curated list of the best burgers in London. Options range from classic pub burgers to mouthwatering smashburgers and beyond - and all are unique to London/UK. If you're as enthusiastic about burgers as I am and you don't see your favorites on the list, please do share over on Instagram @somethingsavored and I'll add to my must-try list!
