Season's Sleetings: Where To See Snow In London

If there's one thing that we love, it's a gorgeous photo-friendly pop-up. From urban beaches in summer to pumpkin patches come autumn, we're proving that you don't need to leave London for your seasonal fix. And now that winter is well and truly in our sights? We're bringing you all the best places to see snow in London - whether that's an après ski escape without the airfare or a rooftop destination.

Skylight Peckham

You don't need to wait for the weather forecast to know that Skylight Peckham has daily sprinkles of the stuff in store, as the covered rooftop venue's terrace will give you snow at 7pm every day this season (plus an extra shower at 2pm on weekends too). Sip your way through the candy cane-topped Nutcracker - a muddle of rum, Frangelico hazelnut liqueur, cranberry juice, apple juice, gomme, black walnut and foaming bitters - while you gaze at the display.

With snow and sweeping views, Skylight Peckham is a top pick.

Humbug: The Immersive Christmas Dive Bar

New to the scene this year? Humbug: The Immersive Christmas Dive Bar, where you can expect an adults-only grotto experience with a bad Santa and all his pals. Think interactive story telling, naughty cocktails and OTT decor - spanning everything from tinsel and tartan to Home Alone-themed murals and a shrine to Mariah Carey. But that's not all, since there's a flurry of snow as part of raucous performances too.
