    Description

    This Christmas Eve evening in London runs on 24 December 2026, leaving Bus Stop 1, Bulleid Way, Victoria, SW1W 9SR at 6:30pm and ending at about 2:00am. It combines a panoramic night tour of the lit city, a three-course Christmas dinner with a glass of Prosecco in Covent Garden, and Midnight Mass at St Martin-in-the-Fields. A drop-off at or near your central London hotel is included, which matters at that hour. Guiding is in English only. From £128 per adult, free cancellation up to and including 18 December.

    The lift home is part of the product

    Midnight Mass ends well after the Underground has stopped, and on Christmas Eve a taxi in central London is not a given. This tour includes a drop-off at or within walking distance of your hotel, provided it is in central London. It is the least glamorous line in the inclusions and probably the most useful.

    Dinner in Covent Garden, then the church

    Dinner is three courses with a glass of Prosecco, served in Covent Garden. You must choose your menu when you book — standard, vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free (non-vegetarian): the booking cannot be completed without it.

    Midnight Mass is at St Martin-in-the-Fields, on Trafalgar Square. The evening opens with a panoramic drive through a city already lit for Christmas.

    Be early: the coach does not wait

    Arrive 30 minutes before departure. The schedule is built around a service that starts at a fixed time and the coach cannot hold for latecomers. Bring the e-ticket provided at booking; it is required to board.

    If it is the lights you want

    The drive through the illuminations opens this evening but is not the reason it exists — this is a dinner and a service, and it costs £128. If the Christmas lights are what you are after, the London Christmas Lights Tour does exactly that for £25, and the Singalong Christmas Lights Tour adds mince pies and carols for £34. Both are shorter, cheaper and run most evenings.

    • Pass Westminster Abbey, St Paul’s Cathedral and other landmarks

    Christmas Eve in London: Dinner and Midnight Mass – FAQ

    • How do I get back to my hotel at 2am?

      A drop-off at or within walking distance of your central London hotel is included. It applies to central London hotels only. This matters because the Underground has stopped running by the time Midnight Mass ends.

    • Can I choose my dinner menu?

      Yes, and you should. The menu must be chosen at the time of booking — standard, vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free (non-vegetarian). The booking cannot be completed without it.

    • Where is dinner, and where is the service?

      Dinner is in Covent Garden, three courses with a glass of Prosecco. Midnight Mass is at St Martin-in-the-Fields, on Trafalgar Square.

    • What time should I arrive?

      30 minutes before departure. Departure is at 6:30pm from Bus Stop 1, Bulleid Way, Victoria, London SW1W 9SR. The coach cannot wait for latecomers: the evening is built around a service that begins at a fixed time.

    • When does the evening finish?

      At approximately 2:00am, after the drop-off.

    • What language is the guiding in?

      English only.

    • Do I need to bring anything?

      Yes, the e-ticket provided when you book. It is required to board the coach.

    • Is this a good way to see the Christmas lights?

      The evening opens with a panoramic drive through the lit city, but the lights are not what you are paying for — the dinner and the service are. For the illuminations on their own, the London Christmas Lights Tour costs £25 and the Singalong tour £34.
