If you're in the mood to try something new - or simply see familiar places differently - this is a good place to start.

January is a good month to be in London. The crowds thin out, tickets are easier to come by, and the city's cultural calendar is full of exhibitions, theatre and festivals reaching their final weeks. From Broadwick Soho, it's all close - galleries, screenings, late dinners and neighbourhood bars - with plenty still happening, just at a calmer pace.

If you're hosting over the festive season and want a drink that feels a little bit special, this is one to have up your sleeve. Catalin has taken the classic Negroni and given it a seasonal twist - richer, warmer and perfect for pouring when friends start to arrive and the evening settles in.

Introducing Soho Diaries with Dean Channon

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.
