Like the rest of the country’s population, Londoners are preparing for a wave of cold snaps this winter. However, when evenings in front of warming fires and watching hit television shows have been exhausted, venturing outside into the colder temperatures is still a viable option, particularly in a city like London that has so much to see and do. 

Standout Options

If you’re keen to get out in the coming weeks, there are some fantastic offerings you can sample with your partner in crime or a close friend, some of which even come at a cut price. In fact, even during the Christmas period, some standout options are emerging, all of which can get you in the spirit for the most wonderful time of the year. Let’s take a look at some of them below. 

Rowans Tenpin Bowl Comes Alive at Night 

Located in Finsbury Park, Rowans Tenpin Bowl is a popular spot to consider frequenting in the evenings when the younger crowds have gone home. With a special £1 entrance fee and an abundance of gaming experiences to immerse yourself in alongside attempting to win big in bowling clashes, it’s a seriously fun option. It also boasts plenty of group offers, so there are various ways to enjoy a visit without spending a fortune.

Rowans could even get inspiration from online entertainment platforms, which use free games and loyalty rewards to keep people coming back. Some iGaming platforms even offer a bingo deposit bonus: when new players spend £10, they can get £40 in bonus funds to play at online and physical venues if they meet the eligibility criteria.

For example, if you’re partial to exploring hit console games like Resident Evil Requiem, then some eye-catching new and old gaming packages will undoubtedly appeal in this lively location, from pinball to virtual reality packages. They’re cheap and cheerful, too.

Additionally, and perhaps best of all, when night falls, tables are cleared, DJs start playing toe-tapping tracks, and adults unite to dance the night away. 

The Big Christmas Rave at Fabric 

It’s fair to say Fabric has been a major player in London’s party scene for decades now. This Christmas, it is hosting another unmissable occasion, with The Big Christmas Rave expected to draw in the city’s house music fanatics. 

Taking place on Sunday, December 20th, memorable tracks from between 2010 and 2014 will be played throughout, as DJs like wAFF, Davide Squillace, and Alexis Raphael take to the stage to unleash some killer compositions. If you’re partial to electronic music, then this one’s most definitely for you. 

Festive Football, Anyone?

While the festive football schedule isn’t as packed as it used to be, there are still some games for London’s football fans to consider taking in, with some clubs offering reduced ticket prices. For people who are only interested in top-level encounters, Crystal Palace vs Arsenal at Selhurst Park is worth considering, as the struggling Eagles look to see off the current Premier League champions on Sunday 27 December. 

However, if you prefer the charm of the lower leagues, then Barnet’s encounter with Colchester United down in League Two on Saturday 26 December might just tickle your fancy. Likewise, Charlton Athletic’s clash with Southampton is another solid option here, with both Championship sides facing off on Boxing Day at The Valley.

Ending with an offering that is suitable for any time of the year, Ballie Ballerson is a Shoreditch gem that an increasing number of people are discovering, particularly due to options like discounted brunch packages. Not only can you sip on delicious childhood-sweet-inspired cocktails at this huge adult ball pit, but party-goers can also boogie on down to some memorable tunes from the venue’s talented live DJs. Overall, it’s a blast.
