FUN AND FEASTING ON THE RIVER
THAMES WITH CITY CRUISES
As Christmas beckons, it's time to
think of romance or bag some friendsand-family
time so don’t miss a festive
cruise on the River Thames with dinner,
lunch or tea to be enjoyed whilst
admiring the famous riverside
landmarks. City Cruises have modern
riverliners with warm cabins and
panoramic windows and, when you pop
out to the open upper deck, there is a
stunning 360-degree view.
As a seasonal treat, the Sail with
Santa Cruises on Dec 3, 4, 10, 11 and
from 17-24 December include presents,
drinks, cookies and great river views.
And, it's not only Santa who's having
fun on the river. A host of visitors
attracted by the weak pound are setting
sail to party at lunch and dinner, getting
ready for Christmas Day sightseeing or
gearing up to tuck into a traditional
Christmas lunch. Every day, there are
Lunch, Afternoon Tea and Showboat
cruises plus River Lights from
Thursdays to Sundays.
Or, for a quicker view of the river, the
50 minute Thamesrush rides leave from
Westminster Pier – details at

LEGO SANTA’S WORKSHOP
ARRIVES IN COVENT GARDEN
The annual LEGO® Christmas build
has arrived in Covent Garden to bring
some Christmas magic to the piazza
once again. LEGO tools at the ready, the
Elves are busy building in Santa’s
Workshop which is made with over
700,000 LEGO bricks. Santa is keeping
a watchful eye over the elves and filling
sacks with LEGO Christmas presents.
The elves are kept warm while they work
with a roaring fire – the countdown to
Christmas is on and there is still a lot of
work to be done.
Join the elves on the ‘production
line’, take a selfie, or ‘elfie’, and share
at #LetsBuildXmas.
Brought to Covent Garden by LEGO
UK, Santa’s Workshop will be in the
Covent Garden Piazza through to
29 December. The impressive LEGO
installation has been designed and built
by Duncan Titmarsh, the UK’s only
LEGO Certified Professional.
