Christmas in london 'but cool' - bringing tourist friends

Bit early for the C word but in planning mode!

I live in a very unglamorous/uncosmopolitan part of Europe but my offices are in London so I’m there a lot. I’m excitedly bringing some of my local friends for a long weekend in early December so they can experience the special London Christmas vibe.

So far planning to do a show and shopping at Liberty’s/Selfridges/Covent Garden.
Would also love a glam but chilled night out - is Archer Street still good fun?

We can’t blow the budget, but would love any special ‘must-do’ recs for Christmas, activities/sights/restaurants. We’ll be based West but happy to walk/tube around.

That sounds so fun! Archer St is fun but quite a young crowd these days – I would recommend the Common Decency Bar at the NoMad Hotel for something a bit more relaxed and festive.

I would also have a look at one of the Christmas markets, go and see the amazing trees at Claridge’s, The Berkeley or Brown’s hotel and book drinks at a winter Igloo (like the Coppa Club ones). Also Miracle at Henrietta in Covent Garden is one of the most festive spots with kitsch decorations and special food and drink!
