As Christmas looms, I believe there is no better place to be than London. With carol concerts and services on every street corner, it really is a wonderful place to spend the run up to the big day! Whether you like all the bells and whistles, or a more reflective service vibe, London has something for you and your family. Here I have shared some of my fav upcoming concerts in the hope that it will spread some joy and help us fix our eyes on what’s important, away from amazon deliveries! (Spoiler alert, I cheated and chose 6!)

- Inchant is a fresh new choir founded and directed by conductor Emma Warren. They seek to break down traditional concert stuffiness by performing in cool new spaces in innovative ways. Join them, and a harp (for extra Christmas sparkle!) in between the shelves at Belsize Community Library! It’s BYOMW (bring your own mulled wine!) and mince pies will be provided- what’s not to like?! Sunday 10th Dec 7.30pm https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/belsize-park/belsize-community-library/inchant-christmas-concert/e-mdkazj
