"And, while Oxford Street and Covent Garden will be no less busy in 2025, there's one new store well worth a detour - Buckingham Palace's first Christmas pop-up shop. The launch of the Royal Collection Trust's annual gift guide came with exciting news this September, as the palace's 200-year-old stables will be transformed into a seasonal boutique while the Mews is closed to visitors for the winter."
"From Friday, 14 November to Monday, 5 January, shoppers can browse festive ranges of official royal gifts, food and drink from the Royal Collection Trust, as well as future heirlooms. Highlights include small bottles of gin infused with botanicals hand-picked from the grounds of royal residences, including Buckingham Palace, and kitchen accessories inspired by The Great Kitchen at Windsor Castle - the oldest working kitchen in the country."
Summer may still be warm across many southern European beaches, but the capital's festive season brings iconic attractions such as Hyde Park's Winter Wonderland, German-style markets, beer tents, funfair rides and seasonal ice rinks at Somerset House and Hampton Court. Buckingham Palace will open its first Christmas pop-up shop in its 200-year-old stables while the Mews is closed. The boutique will operate from 14 November to 5 January and sell Royal Collection Trust gifts, food and drink, including gin infused with botanicals from royal grounds, kitchen accessories inspired by Windsor Castle's Great Kitchen, crystal wine glasses etched with vine motifs, and embroidered tree decorations handcrafted in India.
