Tis the season for festive shopping, so I have curated the perfect list of Christmas Events and Pop-Ups around Soho and the West End Area. If you are struggling with gift ideas or just want to explore London at Christmas, this is perfect for you!

Beauty Crop, Tom’s Trunks, AYM at POP!

December 2nd – December 22nd 

A great pop-up shop for all your gifting needs! Throughout December, POP! – J&J Global Fulfilment’s Soho concept store, is showcasing a selection of fast-growing online fashion and beauty brands, including Beauty Crop, Tom’s Trunks and AYM Studio, offering them the opportunity to connect directly with customers during the peak Christmas retail period. Each brand will have a week in the lead-up to Christmas, so you have plenty of time to head over and browse. I can’t wait to visit myself and have been kindly reminded by my mum how much she wants a pair of trousers from Tom’s Trunks…

📍15 Bateman Street, Soho

Club Legacyz

December 6th – December 22nd 

The fabulous pop-up for football fanatics, Club Legacyz is hosting its first ever pop-up store on Brewer Street in Soho. The store showcases exclusive merchandise collections, including their new exciting launch of the Eden Hazard Collection, which is a must-see for Chelsea fans. If you want some unique football merchandise to surprise a loved one, you should definitely stop by.

Another one in Covent Garden to stop by! This fun Christmas activity is hosted at the Fuji Film House of Photography and is an immersive experience perfect for families. If you’re struggling for Christmas activities that are kid friendly, the Fuji Grotto is the answer. With the chance to meet Father Christmas, have activities in the Elf Workshop and have professional photos taken, this is guaranteed to put everyone in the holiday spirit. Tickets are £30 which includes two adults FREE per booking, it also includes a meet and greet with Father Christmas, a photo print and a gift. 

📍Covent Garden

Slip Highland Rose Pop-Up

December 2nd – December 29th 

Viral silk pillow case brand, Slip, are popping up inside Liberty London for the whole month. You can shop their entire Highland Rose collection at the pop-up and can also get complimentary gift wrapping. If that isn’t enough, they also have a free photo booth at the pop-up store! This sounds so fun and a perfect stop whilst Christmas shopping in Liberty. 

📍Liberty London

Queer Print Pop-Up

December 15th (12pm-8pm)

This one day event is a great place to find unique Queer photography, magazines and artwork to gift someone you love. It is free to stop by, so you can browse their stunning selection of independent artwork from a variety of artists around London. You have plenty of notice, so definitely add it to your list. 

📍Peter Street, Soho 

Wolf & Badger X The Seam

December 5th – December 15th 

This pop-up is less about gifting but instead is a sustainable alternative to lots of Christmas shopping. If splurging isn’t really in your budget this year, Wolf & Badger has partnered up with The Seam and from the 5th-15th you can visit their store for any repairs or alterations you need. If your favourite Winter boots need a spruce up or your trusty Christmas party dress needs to be altered, bring it to Wolf and Badger and they will take it away for some love and TLC. If you have a family member or friend who would like this, maybe bring their item down and surprise them on Christmas when it is shiny and not new but new again! 

📍Berwick Street, Soho

That concludes the pop-ups, but keep and eye out because I’m sure there will be more festive treats around Soho and The West End this month. Whether its unique football memorabilia, sought after makeup products or a chat with Father Christmas, you have so many options this month. There is officially no excuse now to put off your Christmas shopping!
