Winter in East London

‘Silent Night’ at Dennis Severs House

The Dennis Severs House museum, located minutes away from the Market at 18 Folgate Street, is our favourite East London hidden gem.

Occupying a house that was built in 1724, it tells a compelling story to tell about life in 18th and 19th century Spitalfields.

Tours are available every Thursday to Sunday, including special ‘Silent Night’ sessions during twilight and evening hours, when shadows of the past are illuminated by the rich warm splendour of candlelight.

Winter Festival at Museum of Home

Join East London’s wonderful Museum of Home, as their Winter Festival makes its annual return, bringing heartwarming celebrations, festive cheer, and opportunities to come together during the colder months.

Experience the magic as you wander through our much-loved period rooms – dressed specially for the Winter Festival – exploring 400 years of winter festivities, from a joyful Midwinter in 1630 to a fabulous Millenium party. Open from 14 November.

Learn more and book on the Museum of Home website.

Walk Along Fournier Street

The historic Huguenot buildings of Fournier Street are a sight to behold all year round, but at Christmas this corner of Spitalfields becomes a real must-visit.

During December residents adorn their ornate doors with the most charming selection of colourful wreaths, creating a festive feel that would get even Ebenezer Scrooge in the Christmas spirit.
