Visit the Southbank Centre Christmas Market

Advent begins today and with it the frenzy of commercialism that marks the Christmas season is upon us. You can choose to ignore it or actively embrace it in places like the Southbank Centre Christmas Market, which sprung up a couple of weeks ago in little wooden chalets beside the Thames.


The market promises stalls selling all sorts of gifty things, but the real draw for many is food and drink, with mulled wine and plenty of other seasonal treats on offer if you're prepared to stump up the cash.
