As the festive season approaches, one can’t help but wonder: where might Father Christmas and his trusty reindeer touch down in London?
While chimneys are the traditional entry point, every now and then Santa might prefer a more spacious landing zone. Let’s explore some of London’s most inviting terraces and gardens that would make ideal pit stops for the jolly man in red.
1. A riverside rendezvous in Rotherhithe
4 bedroom house to rent in Rotherhithe, SE16
Imagine Rudolph and his team alighting on a stunning riverside terrace in Rotherhithe. This grand design, riverfront, end-of-terrace house located along the banks of the Thames offering some of London’s most spectacular views. Santa could catch his breath while admiring the twinkling lights of Tower Bridge across the water. The property’s proximity to the river might also allow for a quick sledge-to-boat transition, should Father Christmas fancy a change of transport.
2. A historic hideaway in Shad Thames
2 bedroom penthouse apartment available to rent in Shad Thames, SE16
In the heart of Shad Thames, a delightful two-bedroom penthouse apartment on East Lane boasts a large private terrace that would serve as an excellent urban oasis for Santa. The historic warehouse district, with its iconic walkways and converted industrial buildings, provides a uniquely London backdrop for a Christmas Eve pit stop. The reindeer might particularly appreciate the area’s cobbled streets, reminiscent of their northern stables.
3. Marylebone magnificence
