December in London is a beautiful kind of busy. The city hums a little louder, the streets glow a little warmer, and every corner seems to have something happening. From ballet and theatre to candlelit concerts and major exhibitions, it's one of the most atmospheric months of the year to experience the city.

The city feels different in December. Lights shimmer above the streets, theatres hum, and the scent of mulled wine drifts through Soho. Whether you're visiting for a weekend or simply looking for a little winter magic, here's how we'd spend two days in London - from your check-in at Broadwick Soho to the final curtain call at The Nutcracker.

THE MAGIC OF MAKING A DIFFERENCE

London and rain have a way of finding each other - and when they do, Soho knows just what to do. We've rounded up our favourite spots for rainy days. Whether you're after a velvet-soaked booth, a cinematic escape, or a mug of hot chocolate, here's our guide to drying off, and making a proper day of it.

This November brings a little bit of everything - festive celebration at the Spirit of Christmas Fair, timeless design at the V&A's Cartier exhibition, the smooth sounds of the EFG London Jazz Festival, and theatre that keeps us out past midnight, from Stereophonic to Ghost Stories. Plus, our Moulin Rouge! The Musical partnership continues to bring its spectacular energy to Soho.

There's a certain kind of magic in moments like this.
