The 6 best free things to do in London this weekend [December 19-21]

"London is teeming with free ways to feel festive. Stroll under twinkling Christmas lights, sing along at carol concerts, join in a warming winter solstice gathering, or escape this season's omnipresent kitsch at an immersive art show. Whatever you opt for, you can rest assured it won't tax your wallet, and that means more cash for treating yourself to a pub mulled wine, doing your bit in the office Secret Santa, or picking up a little pressie from one of London's fine markets."

"Oxford Circus's All Souls Langham Place church is welcoming in shoppers this weekend with free hour-long concerts that'll give you a chance to join in lots of familiar faves like 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing' and 'Joy to the World' alongside a choir and live orchestra. Overhead you'll see twinkling lights and mirrorball (not something every church boasts), while the services will wrap up with complimentary mince pies and hot Christmas punch."

London's central streets are adorned with lavish seasonal decorations and luxury window displays, but many free festive options are available across the city. Residents and visitors can stroll under twinkling Christmas lights, sing at carol concerts, attend warming winter solstice gatherings, or experience immersive art shows without spending much. All Souls Langham Place at Oxford Circus offers free hour-long concerts with choir and live orchestra, twinkling lights, a mirrorball, and complimentary mince pies and hot Christmas punch, with a big screen projecting to outside viewers beneath Regent Street's decorations. Free events free up money for treats and small gifts.
