Christmas in London isn’t all about mayhem on Oxford Street and teenage shoppers with angry elbows. There’s some great places to go for your festivities. Here’s my run down of the best Christmas spots for 2010. If you’re lucky, you might even get some snow.

This trend though, along with cupcakes, is on the rise in Madrid and little vintage boutiques are popping up and drawing attention. read full article
