Last weekend I decided to get into the Christmas spirit and made a special visit to the Southbank Christmas Market. After visiting Winter Wonderland numerous times before, I thought it'd be only fair to see another one in the city. I actually think I prefer the Southbank, It's one of my favourite places to have a stroll anyway and it's even better all decked out for the festive season. It just feels less touristy and less tacky as there's no blaring rides. It's still quite busy but it doesn't feel too closed in. You can buy lots of Christmas goodies such a decorations, gingerbread, marshmallows, roasted chestnuts and traditional presents. It's not the cheapest of places to eat but hey Christmas only comes round once a year!
A word of advice if you visit, opt for the bacon and cheese sausage. It's a good 'un!
I had a wander round yesterday evening before I went home :) it's so pretty when all the light where on! Didn't get to have an food though =( that gingerbread house looks lush! xoxo
ReplyDeleteBacon and cheese sausage? That just sounds kinda crazy.
ReplyDeleteAw, this look so much better than Bristol's attempt! x
ReplyDeleteI think I'm going for Winter Wonderland and Southbank Market in one day this weekend! Ohh, bacon and cheese sausage sounds so delicious! I actually had a cheese injected sausage at Winter Wonderland last year which was amazing!
