Every winter London hosts one of the world's most fantastic Christmas light displays, with historic buildings lit up for all to enjoy. Cycle along the transformed shopping streets as well as the hidden alleyways most tourists miss and discover the joys of London's illuminated festive season.

You'll be equipped with a suitable bike, helmet, and lights at the Lambeth-based bike hire centre, then head out at a leisurely pace to see the lights flicker on as the sun sets over the city. Explore the sights, Christmas markets and impressive shop displays.

Among the places you'll visit, see beautifully wintry sites like the Southbank Christmas Markets. Check out the glittering London Eye, Big Ben and Houses of Parliament. See a very festive-looking Harrods, Hyde Park Winter Wonderland and the Christmas displays at Sloane Square, Bond Street, Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, Regent Street, Covent Garden and Trafalgar Square.
