OK we know it’s only October, but we are talking November 22nd here so we needed a London festive day out that will light up all your senses — and maybe spark a connection or two.

Join your Date in the Diary friends for a magical trip into London this November, where the lights shine bright, the music lifts your spirits, and the atmosphere is pure festive fun.

We’ll start with a stroll through the famous Christmas lights of Oxford Street, Regent Street and Carnaby Street, with time to browse the shops, soak up the atmosphere, and snap a few twinkly photos together.

Then we’ll continue the adventure to Archer Street, one of London’s liveliest bars — think singalong moments, great food, delicious cocktails, and an unbeatable party vibe. The staff often jump on tables to belt out classic tunes, and you’re welcome to join in! Its a lot of fun!

It’s the perfect mix of festive sparkle and social connection — come solo, meet great people, and enjoy an afternoon and evening that’s all about good vibes, laughter, and maybe even a little mistletoe magic.

We’ll link locals together to travel in together by train and head home together too — so no logistics to worry about, just pure festive fun from start to finish.

This event is aimed at the over50’s but everyone is welcome. Join for some of it, or all of it!
