London Bridge City is delighted to announce the much-anticipated return of Winter by the River, a spellbinding winter festival set to captivate visitors. From 12th November 2024, the banks of the iconic River Thames will undergo a mesmerising transformation into a festive escape for all ages.

Indulge in seasonal treats with a touch of flair, whilst you meander through a labyrinth of bustling market stalls, each one a treasure trove of artisanal crafts, unique gifts, and seasonal delicacies. From luxury offerings and bespoke gifts to ‘gifts for good’ in partnership with social enterprises, our assorted market offers the perfect opportunity to find that special something for your loved ones. Lose yourself in the magic of winter along London’s most famous riverside at our pop-up bars, The Glasshouse and Little Glasshouse, with their panoramic views, festive ambience, and unique experiences for all such as paint and sip, wreath making, cocktail masterclasses, gingerbread decoration, Christmas ornament decoration, festive trivia night, Christmas singalong night and wine tasting!

That’s not all – new for 2024, London Bridge City Pier will be home to Swift Stone, our new pop-up curling experience! Challenge your friends, family, or colleagues on specially designed curling lanes inside a glass-enclosed venue, where lanes can accommodate up to eight people.

Don’t miss out. This enchanting winter festival promises to captivate hearts until 5 January 2025.
