What's hot in London this weekend
People heading to London this weekend will not be short of things to do, from soaking up culture at the opera to cheering on their team at a football match.
Visitors can get in the festive spirit by going to see Christmas Stories Told by Spoken Ink, at Hyde Park, which sees stories of snow and good cheer told by the Wandsworth-based company.
The Cockpit open air theatre space comes alive with the group, who tell 21st century stories, while the audience are wrapped in warm furs to ward off the cold.
Everyone loves a good laugh at this time of year and the Hammersmith Apollo will come alive with Christmas comedy this weekend to get the festive cheer going. The Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People event sees a range of performers take to the stage, mixing acclaimed evolutionary biologists with comedians and musicians for a very varied night at the Hammersmith Apollo.
Sports fans among the visitors to London this weekend will likely be heading to the Fulham vs Manchester United game, when the capital's team welcome their northern rivals.
Fans will gather at Craven Cottage for the 15:00 GMT kick off, when Fulham hope to beat the second placed Manchester team to move them out of ninth place. The team will be looking to improve on their 1-1 draw against Burnley last weekend, while United will certainly want to better their loss against Aston Villa last week.
After the football, visitors can seek a different type of culture and head to the Royal Opera House for a fine performance of La Boheme. The Puccini classic will see the life of Paris brought to the stage with a tragic truth being released in a packed cafe.
Those heading to any of these events will need to find a good place to stay in the capital and should look no further than the luxury London hotel the Milestone. While they are there, people can take advantage of the Magical London package, which will set the festive tone for the weekend.
The offering includes a glass of mulled wine, full English breakfast each day, festive afternoon tea, a festive turndown and free movies, meaning visitors can watch their favourite Christmas film.
