South Kensington winter evenings are sparkling with festive fun
With a chill in the air and shorter days, South Kensington has plenty of live, fun-filled events to put a sparkle into your evenings - from the return of the Science Museum Lates, classical music and opera in the Royal College of Music's newly unveiled, state-of-the-art Performance Hall, festive films at the Luna Winter Cinema in Kensington Palace, and of course, Christmas at the Royal Albert Hall!.
Get your skates on to enjoy the final season of ice-skating outside the Natural History Museum and book now for Winter Wonderland which returns to Hyde Park next week. We’ve got competitions to give away tickets to both.
